the Smurf's house looks like fly agaric -  Amanita muscaria.

Poland - good place for a climate conference, as they are about 80% reliant on coal fired power stations

Ah . The hallucinatory jobbie ?

In my teenage years, I ate quite a few fly agaric, dried,fresh and simmered in milk.
Nothing. No effect whatsoever.
But I do know a guy who ate several hundred liberty caps, then a few hours later the jehovahs witnesses knocked on his door.....
Brainwashed and lost now.
He never came down.
Put me off that kind of thing for life.

Just got back from Athens. 
Noticed these growing on some  heavily pruned hybrid black poplars.

 First tree shows fruiting bodies that where 16-18” diameter.

I think so, they had lovely glistening droplets on the base. The trees had been hit back so hard and possibly in the summer heat, the bark was peeling off with no signs of regeneration.
