Sweet Dreams

Did a long walk in Bright today with my U3A walking group.  We found so many of these, mostly under the She Oaks.  Apparently they are an unintentionally introduced toadstool, Amanita muscaria noted for its hallucinogenic properties, although, be careful, it is slightly poisonous. It is apparently of religious significence in Siberia. Well, we didn't try them, but they look brilliant.
I have added an extra, because I have so many macros from today and can't show them all so thought, just one more.  It is a discarded chestnut, which fell from a huge "spreading chestnut tree" as we walked along the edge of the town.
