I've found one

I've been searching for a fly agaric mushroom for a while now and was glad to have spotted this after virtually searching everywhere and yes you guessed it, this one was found a few minutes from home.
It was commonly found on christmas cards in victorian and Edwardian times as a symbol of good luck and its colours are thought to have been the inspiration for santas red and white suit.
One of the effects of consuming fly agaric is a perceived distortion in the size of objects. It has been said that Lewis Carroll's hookah-smoking caterpillar in Alice in wonderland was inviting her to take a bite from fly agaric.
