Hook Red Fly Agaric

The poisonous red fly agaric is a sight to behold with its red (to pale orange) cap with white dots - but is not edible. It has traditionally been used as an insecticide, and in the 18th century Carl von Linné described how bedbugs could be driven away using crushed fly agaric. Siberian shamans used the mushroom in rituals to get in touch with the spirit world. With the help of humans, the red fly agaric has spread all over the world.
