The Lyrics
The extremely poisonous mushroom Amanita virosa, known in English as "destroying angel", has caused eight people to be hospitalized and gotten one killed in Finland this year. I've done already one mushroom parody some time ago, so it is time for another.
She does only grow at wood
The white with webbed hood
She looks so innocent, that white mushroom
Destroying Angel
She's growing next to spruce but she brings with her the doom
So many have tasted her
- it's toxic to liver
Her flavour ain't bad, but she'll sure make sad your kinfolks dear to you
Within a week -
if you've eaten one Grim Reaper will come, you'll turn blue
Oh oh, there she grows
Watch out boy, don't chew it up
Oh, oh, there she grows
She's Amanita -
Oh oh, there she grows
Watch out boy, don't chew it up
Oh, oh, there she grows
She's Amanita -
I wouldn't if I were you
I know what she can do
She's a deadly 'shroom, and she could really rip your liver apart
Amanitine -
The beauty is there but the poison is within
Oh oh, there she grows
Watch out boy, don't chew it up
Oh, oh, there she grows
She's Amanita -
The white with webbed hood
She looks so innocent, that white mushroom
Destroying Angel
She's growing next to spruce but she brings with her the doom
So many have tasted her
- it's toxic to liver
Her flavour ain't bad, but she'll sure make sad your kinfolks dear to you
Within a week -
if you've eaten one Grim Reaper will come, you'll turn blue
Oh oh, there she grows
Watch out boy, don't chew it up
Oh, oh, there she grows
She's Amanita -
Oh oh, there she grows
Watch out boy, don't chew it up
Oh, oh, there she grows
She's Amanita -
I wouldn't if I were you
I know what she can do
She's a deadly 'shroom, and she could really rip your liver apart
Amanitine -
The beauty is there but the poison is within
Oh oh, there she grows
Watch out boy, don't chew it up
Oh, oh, there she grows
She's Amanita -

I am so addicted to mushrooms, except for the poisonous kind. I also read in an old article awhile back on how eating canned mushrooms could be dangerous because of the botulism disease...Hey wait, that's from one of the episodes in "All In The Family". Anyways, take 555 antidotes for the poison!
Good concept and title switch, Suzanne Suz-amanita! :)
There's also a Super Mario RPG character named Amanita.
TSB, the character has been modelled after another mushroom, Amanita muscaria (Common Fly Agaric). It is mildly poisonous and has hallucinogenic properties.
That was trippy(oh, it's not that kind of mushroom..)LOL, well done!
I've done my share of mushroom picking. I learned at an early age what to pick and what not to pick. Where I grew up we had a fungi called a sheep head. They were huge like the head of a sheep and usually grew on dead trees in dark damp woods. It only took one to feed a small army. They were rare and hard to find but when you found one it was like gold. I've got to go t the mushroom now - here I'll leave you these fives.
A. Muscaria isn't poisonous - it is hallucinogenic. A. Phalloides is the deadly one here, and are easily avoided. Picking edible mushrooms from the wild is dangerous. Looking for psychedellic ones is much easier - all psilocybin containing mushrooms bruise blue. Although I avoid amanitas and LBMs, I'm glad I stumbled across this one. Nice work, Susanna.
