I have no idea who this little guy is. Just popped in my garden looking all puffy and cute. (lemmy.world)

Forbidden popcorn.

Just a guess, but I would think probably something from the Amanita family? And that only narrows it down to about 600 species containing everything from deadly to delicious.

Google thinks it's Amanita muscaria var. formosa

Siri agrees.

Looks like a variety of Amanita muscaria (fly agaric).

Usually, they are bright red, but sometimes, they can be yellow, pink, orange, and so on.

I wouldn't eat it, but adore that little guy! :)
