Grey spotted amanitas are mushrooms related to the fly agarics familiar from fairy story illustrations.
These were growing on a lawn in front of flats on the Compton Road.
They have been showing there in late summer for several years. In the past I have mistaken them for other related species, panther caps and the blusher.
This seems to have been a good year for grey spotted amanitas. Pictures from other locations to follow soon.
