TRAIL MUSHROOM - Not many wildflowers along the trail to the beaver pond, but hot summer days and recent rains have the mushrooms popping up. I don't know much about wild mushrooms and don't eat them - and I especially don't eat the Fly Amanita mushroom that my field guide calls "deadly poisonous". They were historically and today, used as an insect trap and a psychoactive sprirtial tool, though it contains powerful (poisonous) toxins. No magic mushrooms for me.
