Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Amanita muscaria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A mature Amanita muscaria, commonly called the fly agaric, as seen near Tyndrum, Scotland.
Reason
I think this is a fantastic image of one of the best-known mushrooms - maybe a bit more open and mature than the "classic" image used in a million 1960s images, but I don't see that as a problem, given that if we only showed the classic stage of development, how would people know what the other stages looked like?
