Christmas tree topper:  Fly agaric

Even though it is a poisonous fellow in nature, the pretty fly agaric with its red cap and funny white polka dots has long since made it into our hearts. In one of its most beautiful forms, it is now truly the highlight of any Christmas tree decoration.

With a knobbly stalk and an almost round, full cap, on which a long, well-formed tip stretches upwards, the otherwise dreaded forest dweller presents itself with a coloration that simply invites you to marvel. The elegant lacquer shimmers matt in white (stem) and red (cap and tip), while the famous white dots and lush green blades of grass at the base are covered in glamorous glitter.
