Autumn wonders spring up at garden near Plymouth

A FAIRYLAND of fungi is bringing a splash of autumn colour to a popular visitors' spot.

Gardeners at The Garden House in Buckland Monachorum were delighted to find this huge crop of Fly agaric mushrooms.

The unusual sight might look stunning, like something out of a fairytale or Disney film, but these are among some of the most poisonous toadstools in Britain.

The Amanita Muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric, is a psychoactive fungi and although it is considered poisonous, deaths from its consumption are extremely rare, and it is eaten as a food in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America after parboiling.

The mushroom grows all over-the-world and in some cultures holds religious significance.
