Monster Mushrooms!

Wow! Check out this monster mushroom that bloomed in our neighboring field! It's huge! I've lived in Kenwood for 25 years and never seen a mushroom this big. There is a large grouping under a pine tree...I've seen lots of seasonal mushrooms before, but these are the biggest ever! Can anyone identify these mushrooms?

Thanks to my FaceBook friend, Cecile Beaupin, who identified these poisonous pods....read on!!!

Amanita muscaria var. muscaria, the toadstool is a different type of fungal intoxicant producing Class F poisoning (Poisindex II). The onset of symptoms occurs 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating the mushrooms and is due to the toxins muscimol and ibotenic acid which are found in both Amanita muscaria and Amanita pantherina. A small amount of muscarine is present in these mushrooms as well. The symptoms are drowsiness, confusion, euphoria, staggering, muscular spasms, repetitive actions, dilation of pupils, dizziness, visual disturbances, dullness of colors, impression of heaviness but unusual strength, fragmentation of time, conviction of dying, deep coma-like sleep, with some patients reporting hallucinations upon wakening. Some people become violent. Complete recovery comes in 6-24 hours.
