Helmet mistery solved! Finally the source unveiled...

[Adler 1]

As a few of you fellow collectors always wanted to know where I get my pickelhauben and other quality stuff... Here's the answer...
It's not a timemachine, as many thought at first, but ... They simply grow in my garden.
They all start as a Fly mushroom (Amanita muscaria), but soon magic happens and they turn into WW1 steel helmets, pickelhauben, pelzmutzen, tschako's or tschapka's...
To prove all this, I took some real goofy pics of all this, to show you gentlemen how things work in our garden...

Adler 1,

How much for a package of seeds to grow steel helmets?

Wow, no wonder these mushrooms have skulls on them - they are poisonous after all!

If only my forebears would have known of this secret garden, they would not have run out of material...

I'll take one of those and a package of the EM pickelhaube seeds please. Is there an upcharge if you want a mixed variety of M1895/97 and M15 examples?

Hello
The red one with the white spots I know are FLY AGARIC FUNGI .
The black and gold one has me stumped,perhaps if you send it to Canada for me to study and keep, that would be the right thing to do.
Very interesting
