The reason the mushrooms are called "lucky mushrooms" is because you are super lucky if you are alive a day after eating them.

They are so pretty and tasty too!

Gman was not super lucky.

Be ready for a long trip if you nibble them... Safe travels

What's that called in English? In Finnish it's kärpässieni, and in Sweidish flugsvamp. Both would translate to "Fly mushroom" (as in the buzzing thing, not the being up in the sky thing).

 

[hennible]

That is Amanita muscaria
Highly hallucinogenic and relatively poisonous mushroom. It's what makes reindeer fly... look it up

I'm familiar with the mushroom, they're pretty common here. One of our more easily distinguished poisonous shrooms. I jsut don't know what it's English name is.

 

[Bunnylady]

Fly Amanita is the name I've heard.

 

[hennible]

I don't know it's common name... There are a few kinds of amanita...

 

[Alaskan]

I call them by their German names, which are fly mushroom and lucky mushroom..

Am i supposed to speak English??

 

[hennible]

I don't know... Germans good... I like Latin though...
