  This is an awesome photo, but I wish there was something in it for scale to show how giant it really is.

    I thought the same thing after we left. If only I had a banana. To give you an idea, this mushroom was bigger than my head.

    I think deaths are relatively rare, but not off the table.

      Fly agaric is positively benign compared to its close relative Amanita phalloides, the Death Cap.

    …I guess eating them and giving them to a homie in high school was not the greatest idea and we got lucky then.
