Real-life Super Mario Mushroom

I had no idea that those big red mushrooms with white spots actually existed in nature. :)
But I found one last week and took a picture of it.

It was cool, but not in my yard.

I was at the coast and it was down the street from the beach house I was staying in. :)

Yes, that is an amanita muscaria mushroom, and yes it is very psychedelic. Those particular mushrooms have the biggest fatality probability, though. If you want to chance it, you will have the ride of your life!

Typically, death from this type of mushroom is extremely rare, though.
