Russula emetica

They are one of the most common mushrooms found in the field in summer time Japan. I feel summer is here when I find them. Beautiful red cap is so characteristic and very attractive while they are toxic. No worries. No one is so brave enough to eat them because their taste is incredibly acrid and never in the mouth.


They are found on the rough glass of golf course.
