DSC09526 - Yellow-orange Fly Agaric Mushroom

This mushroom is somewhat poisonous (as are many Amanita species) and hallucinogenic when consumed by humans.
The toxins affect the part of the brain that is responsible for fear, turning off the fear emotion.
Vikings, who had a reputation for fierceness, are said to have ingested this mushroom prior to invading a village.
