The potentially fatal death cap mushrooms that killed a three-year-old boy last year are popping up early in Uplands. The mushroom, known by the scientific name Amanita phalloides, was discovered.

A mycologist said the Amanita phalloides has sprouted up in Victoria again.

Weeks earlier than normal.

This has been a great year for the mushrooms
