A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.
Fly Agaric in Plav: where to look
Fly Agaric: the species in brief
How to tell it
Usually easy to recognise: a red to orange-red cap with white patches, white gills, a ring on the stem and a swollen base with scaly bands. Heavy rain can wash the white patches away, leaving a plain red cap.
Where it grows
Common with birch, pine and spruce. It often grows in the same woodland as Penny Bun because the two species can share host trees.
