Sesame seed bun.

Weird big strawberry

What you’re saying is I should have taken a juicy bite…

This is an awesome photo, but I wish there was something in it for scale to show how giant it really is.

I thought the same thing after we left. If only I had a banana. To give you an idea, this mushroom was bigger than my head.

/c/Satisfactory

Beautiful and deadly

I think deaths are relatively rare, but not off the table.

You’re more likely to end up with severe stomach pains, and hallucinations.

Fly agaric is positively benign compared to its close relative Amanita phalloides, the Death Cap.
