The message
from
iljunk (Pen Phill) contains these words:
Unlikely. Amanite muscaria grows in and on the margins/clearings of
woodland.

No...Really.......I have.....
Look...
Coo yes - Amanita muscaria without a doubt. It was this mushroom the
Norsemen took before going berserk. It is hallucogenic, and overuse can
lead to madness, and an overdose can be fatal.
I've never tried it and I have no intention of doing so, but it is said
that after peeling it is safe to eat, which is probably where the old
wives' tale of peeling as a test for edibility. (Amanita phalloides, A.
verna and A. virosa all peel, and they are amongst the most deadly
mushrooms known.)
