When one thinks of poisonous mushrooms, the red-colored mushroom with white spots on its surface comes to mind immediately. A person who has been searching for such a mushroom for many years and finally discovered it in Hokkaido is the talk of the town on social networking sites.

Quote from @indiana1974's post

The mushrooms in the foreground appear to have a frog on top of them. The mushrooms in the foreground look like they have a little frog on them. The post received more than 150,000 likes, with comments such as "It looks like an illustration from a picture book," "The contrast is beautiful," and "The frog is too cute.

It has been 14 years since he started looking for it! Finally found it while playing "a certain cosplay"!

Mr. Sato is also a big fan of "Golden Kamui," a manga set in Hokkaido. During his business trip to Hokkaido, he toured the holy land as Sugimoto, the main character in the manga, and the scene when he found the safflower mushrooms was just like a scene from the manga.

At the time, I had no idea that an image taken in such a stupid outfit would grow...

In three days, Mr. Sato toured Upopoi, Noboribetsu Bear Farm, Showa Shinzan Bear Farm, Otaru Herring Palace, Sapporo Beer Factory, and Hokkaido Kaitakushi no Mura (Hokkaido Development Village).

Many people mistook them for the real thing because of their realism and cuteness, so the company told them, "The two in front are figures! Please don't mistake them for the real thing! Sorry! When Ms. Sato sent out the message, "I thought they were real," she was inundated with comments such as "I thought they were real," and "They don't look too different.

Finally, if humans eat this "safflower mushroom," it can affect the nerves in the brain, causing dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, and breathing difficulties. There is also a possibility that the white spots are accidentally removed and mistaken for other mushrooms. Please be careful everyone.
