That is an Amanita Muscaria and allegedly poisonous to humans if it is unprepared. Preparating included parboiling which somehow "breaks down" the poison. I am not sure about foxes.

While commonly associated with the more classic psychedelic varieties of fungus, the Amanita Muscaria, when prepared properly, at best seems to put the subject into a hazy, dreamy, sub-psychedelic state.

Fun fact: it was also purported to be used by ancient Vikings to put them in a "berserker" state before battle.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.
