    This seems to be a toadstool - don't eat them. They grow here as well!
    Lovely weekend to you

    Ys, Fly Agaric, and it's poisonous. Iet is said that the Vikings used them to get high on...

    The commenters have it right. Interestingly enough, there's a theory that that kind of mushroom has its world-wide origins in your neck of the woods.
