Your opinion? Glowing fly-agaric (Amanita muscaria)

[Helix_2648]

Even if everyone knows that the fly-agaric is poisonous it's still one of the most beautiful mushrooms which i know.
I found this one some days ago and it's my first try with a glowing fly agaric! Hope you like it!

Actually less than most people think. You'd need to eat over a dozen caps (if we're talking about autumn caps; summer specimens may be stronger) to suffer a dangerous intoxication. Eating a couple will get you intoxicated, yes, but more in a psychoactive than a serious poisoning way.

Regardless, beautiful photo. How do you usually obtain the glow effect, a little LED on the cap?
