Amanita Muscaria or Fly Agaric

The magical looking fairytail mushroom 'Fly Agaric' but this is not good to eat and is toxic. Toxic due to it containing trace amounts of Muscarine, but it also contains Ibotenic acid which turns into the powerful physco-active drug Muscimol, a challenging meal for the hungriest of mushroom hunters !
