Amanita muscaria is known in Finnish as "red fly mushroom", and the reason for this is sometimes debated. I have heard claims that the mushroom has been used to kill bugs inside a house, but this feels doubtful.
Anyway, today I noticed an Amanita muscaria which was crawling with bugs, they seemed to love it. Maybe this is the reason for the name?
Here is also a selection of other colorful things. Autumn is progressing now rapidly.
PS. The Amanita photograph was taken at ISO 1600, using the new LX5 firmware. I didn't even bother developing the RAW version of this photograph.

I had kept the matter a profound secret.

Juha, that ISO 1600 image quality is really fine! I did check the original size on flickr and was really astonished.
@Markus: Yes, ISO 1600 with the new noise reduction setting was surprisingly good.
Today I realized I had used RAW + standard jpeg. By using fine jpeg one would get even more detail, at least in theory.
