The Deathcap (Amanita phalloides)
In this video we provide a closeup description of the deathcap and a morbid description of deathcap poisoning. What happened to grandpa?
well ... Grandpa took the long drive home in his Fiat Panda listening to the Bee Gees greatest hits. About 3/4 into the journey home, stuck in traffic at stonehenge on the A303, crippling stomach pains kicked in.
Mad with delirium and pain GrandPa drove off the A303 towards the henge itself thinking it was a hospital. As he approached the stones, he started having a heart attack because of the pain, and his foot jammed on the accelerator.
He went hurtling towards the stones at about 50mph, wearing no seatbelt as he was an old man who stuck to the old ways. His final moments came as he crashed into one of the prone stones, and went flying through the windscreen screaming in pain in a perfect arc in front of some Japanese tourists.
The tourists thought it was part of some bizarre pagan ritual and proceeded to snap away with their cameras, oohing and ahhing. GrandPa hit the deck like a ragdoll and bounced across the grass, and then came to rest sprawled out like a discarded toy.
As the heart attack took its final toll, GrandPa saw the world fade away, surrounded by the majestic stones. He had lived a long fulfilling life, and held no regrets, and his heart finally stopped, died peacefully at the sacred place.
