A large scarlet toadstool has made its appearance at Hamilton during the autumn and while this species has been noticed in other years the fungi are much more common this year. Resembling a mushroom in most details, the toadstools grow up to eight inches in diameter, and when clustered under trees or hedges make a very bright display. This particular species is fairly common in Auckland and further north, but does not appear regularly in the Waikato.
