Red fly agaric
Wednesday, September 09, 2010
It is impossible to just pass by the red fly agarics. They simply stop you in your tracks with their looks. One of the most attractive of cap fungi: good that they are poisonous; so all the white-dotted red hats are left there to decorate the forest.
Rove beetle
All the more interesting then to find animals who make little of filling their stomachs with fly agaric. I managed to get my camera near enough to the gills of an old, slumped down agaric. Tens of little insects were scurrying around there – tiny rove beetles. All were gorging themselves on the fly agaric gills. Insects may do what humans may not!
Chanterelle
Interesting that the agarics are fewer in the Rõuge forests than last year. But there are plenty of boletuses (ceps) instead, and - especially for all mushroom gourmands – chanterelles.
The number of species brought to the exhibition is nearing 200, and there are more than ten species in my photos.
