Fiscal Flycatcher Babies Thrive

Deadly Death Cap Mushroom
Behold the Death Cap mushroom which was spotted in the Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy. If there's one mushroom that we should learn to recognise and avoid, it's this one!
Responsible for the most mushroom-related fatalities worldwide and suspected to be the murder weapon in many deaths of royals and popes, the Death Cap mushroom is quite easy to confuse with other edible mushrooms. If you are not certain of your mushrooms, never pick or eat wild ones. Rather stick to market or store-bought varieties which are safe to gobble up with gusto.
