Resum

The toxic effects of the fly agaric, Amanita muscaria (L.) Lam. had been proposed for some authors as the origin of some legends concerning the elemental spirits of Nature. Unfortunately, many of these studies are reflecting generalizations not demonstrated, and are based more on assumptions than on facts. Also, the consumption of the fly agaric is very poorly documented in Europe. On the other hand, the tinder fungus, Fomes fomentarius (L.) Fr., with a long-documented history of use, offers qualities to be related with the legends concerning fire, the origin of fire and some of the mythological spirits.
