Here we have gathered interesting facts about the fly agaric (Amanita muscaria).

The fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) is a mushroom known for its bright appearance and wide distribution. It is found on nearly all continents, except Antarctica. This mushroom is one of the most recognisable due to its bright red cap adorned with white spots.

The fly agaric plays an important role in the ecosystems where it grows. As a mycorrhizal fungus, it forms symbiotic relationships with the roots of trees. The fungus helps trees absorb water and minerals from the soil, and in return, it receives organic compounds necessary for its growth. This mutually beneficial cooperation contributes to the health of forest ecosystems and supports biodiversity.
