      It was such a stroke of luck... someone had tipped me off about these amanitas, and finally I found them!

      Que lindos colores, porqué "Fly", acaso vuelan estos honguitos?

      Hongos volantes, ¡jajaja!
      En el pasado, la gente usaba estos hongos como un insecticidio muy eficaz contra las moscas. Según Wikipedia, el nombre español de este hongo es 'matamoscas'.

      P.d.: En Siberia, los chamanes utilizaban aquellos hongos para entrar en un trance - aparentamente, los matamoscas causan halicunaciones muy fuertes. "Don't try this at home! " :D

      Beautiful photograph! I have found fly agarics before and photographed them, but never in such bright sunlight... The mushrooms look even more striking in this light.

      I've really come to love these Amanitas. I hope they will return again mext year

      ja ja, ya entendí, no vuelan pero hacen volar a la gente, deben ser como el famoso hongo de san pedro que usan los chamanes acá en Ecuador para volar a otras dimensiones.

      This is a beautiful shot with the reflection in the water and the surrounding grasses.

      This is an "Amanita Muscária" .
      It's a dangerous mushroom. When is dry, in little portions can be used to "FLY" , but eaten fresh can cause death.

      Wonderful light. The grass shadows look very nice across the caps. Nice capture.
