Phobos - those look beautiful. Can they be consumed?

[PHOBoS]

They can be consumed and are psycho-active though also somewhat poisenous if not prepared correctly.
some more info: https://williamrubel.com/2011/10/05/how-much-amanita-muscaria-to-eat/

fun fact: reindeer like them and their urine apparently becomes psycho-active after eating them.
There's a whole theory about santa and flying reindeer tied to these mushrooms.

Pohutukawa is a native New Zealand tree, usually pretty boring with green leaves, brown bark, the usual.

But, every December, they come out in bloom. For good reason, the Pohutukawa is also known as the New Zealand Christmas Tree, and there is even a local carol about it
