Illustration Description
The Anatomy of a Toadstool is an illustration to celebrate the iconic Fly agaric. Fly agaric is found in woodlands, parks and heaths with scattered trees, typically growing beneath birch trees or pines and spruces. The colourful fruiting bodies can usually be seen between late summer and early winter. It is called a Toadstool when it applies to a fungus having an umbrella-shaped pileus.
