A possible explanation for the name fly agaric is that the red membrane on the hat is the part of the fungus that contains the substance muscarinic, from which a fly-killing agent could be made.
Some have seen a link with hallucinations of flying through the air when ingested, but this is etymologically incorrect.
The Latin word for the fly is musca.

They are not professional, you can use them freely , a link back would be nice
