Amanitas is so irresistible... yeah! agreed.
When I was a kid I received a rubber mushroom among some gifts, it looked like this one. Seeing this one reminded me of that toy, it had the same colors and I remember vividly that every time I had it in front of me I wanted to chew it.
Since I see your mushroom publications I am understanding and admiring things I had never noticed before. And yes...it does look like fairyland.

Sort:  

We had Christmas tree glass ornaments shaped like the red Amanita. It was cute! But so fragile... every year there was less and less of them. I am not sure if we have any left right now.

Maybe you have at least one left and you can place it in the forest among the real ones... hahaha... a trick! 😝

You said it with a lot of nostalgia, hopefully some is preserved but it is hidden. 😇

Yeaaa... because I remember we had lots of them and they were cool :)
We do have a box like that with some very old glass ornaments. We hardly take it out cause we dont want to break more and we use the more normal stuff. I just dont remember seeing any mushroom left last time I looked.

Jummm... the collector is about to appear! at any moment she arrives: ajaaa... you have a collection of old ornaments! 🤣

hahahah
They are all at my mums house :D A small, damaged collection :p
