Welcome to this bilingual (Swedish-English) group blog by family members living on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, "the pond". Our interests range from the scientific to the eclectic, including gourmet food, horses, art and literature, computers, species in nature, history and iron, and photography. Three generations are posting here.
From the other side of the pond, a matchbox label from the 50's, simple and nice. The mushrooms are probably fly mushrooms, or what they might be called in English. In Swedish: Flugsvamp. Toxic and hallucinogenic.
What a nice matchbox cover, but strange it has no text at all... :) Flugsvamp is fly agaric in American English, and Amanita is the genus. I love the white feet and red hats of this toxic mushroom. Nice find, EH!
Ah, good old Aminata muscaria. Yum.
