Deadly beauty - Poisonous mushrooms
Found in temperate areas all over the world, the Galerina marginata (aka autumn skullcap, or deadly galerina) may look like a hallucinogenic fungus from the Psilocybe genus, but it is actually extremely toxic.

Found in temperate areas all over the world, the Galerina marginata (aka autumn skullcap, or deadly galerina) may look like a hallucinogenic fungus from the Psilocybe genus, but it is actually extremely toxic. Unlike the dark brown or lilac spores in the "magic" variety, G. marginata has lighter brown spores. But distinction between the two is not always easy, especially as the small mushrooms can grow in some of the same areas. [CCTV.com]
