As a result of the ongoing rain and cloudy weather during recent weeks, more large, white toadstools than what we are used to, appeared overnight.

We identified the huge toadstools on our property as Amanita phalloides, the deadliest poisonous toadstools known.

At first, they are small and bell-shaped, becoming huge, round and flat, being yellowish/greenish underneath (Liz Greyling).
