Young Panther caps (Amanita pantherina - Panteramaniet), photographed on the Elswout Estate near Overveen. Poisonous. Can be confused with some other Amanita species, like the -after cooking- edible Blusher (Amanita rubescens - Parelamaniet). Common in my country, mainly in dedicious woods. © Tom Kisjes

If someone asked me the question "What is your favourite fungus species?" I would be hard pushed and probably answer with my top five! But if I think about it would have to be a perfect copper capped Amanita pantherina. The problem this year is any fungus brave enough to put it's head over the parapet is immediately munched by slugs! Great year for gastropoda not so good for basidiomycota! But here is an immature Panther Cap, not perfect but looking splendid in the Autumnal light.
By the way, here is my top five fabulous fungus pop pickers:
At number five - Porcelain Fungus
Then at number four - Coral Fungus
Number three - Fly Agaric
At Number two - Magpie Inkcap
And at number one, the stunning Panther Cap

In this strange autumn, with the climate that seems to go crazy, a few days ago I found these mushrooms in a park in my city, as beautiful as they are poisonous.
Many thanks to everyone who will pass by visiting my shots. Comments are appreciated. You are welcome. Sergio

Panther cap (Amanita pantherina) mushroom.
Muchomor plamisty (Amanita pantherina).
Amanita pantherina, also known as the panther cap, false blusher, and the panther amanita[1] due to its similarity to the true blusher (Amanita rubescens), is a species of fungus found in Europe and Western Asia. The mushroom is psychoactive but also considered inedible and toxic, and can cause severe illness if eaten fresh.
Location: Sprielderbos & Speulderbos (Veluwe), The Netherlands.
