This is a fake image, has been documented in Finnish press. The photographer sprinkled cat food on the mushroom to get the fox to eat them.

Not fake. The fox is real. The mushroom is real.https://www.quora.com/Can-animals-get-poisoned-by-eating-mushrooms-in-the-forest …

I agree about them being real. However, the scene has been manipulated and presented as if it had occurred naturally. I would compare this to a photo of a stuffed animal which had been presented as a photo of live animal. The animal's behaviour is not natural in this case.

Well, I would love to hear from the photographer himself

Here is Google translated link to the article, where the photographer admits this: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iltalehti.fi%2Fuutiset%2Fa%2F2016100622421929 …

It is no surprise that wildlife photographers use tricks.
-
Yeah, but why hurting? Like in these photos I'm also sure the photographer used some tricks but in this case they were not harmed at least for the sake of a good shot.pic.twitter.com/vaoAcdpAmU

No evidence the fox was harmed. Foxes eat mushrooms.https://www.quora.com/Can-animals-get-poisoned-by-eating-mushrooms-in-the-forest …

From the looks of the size of that cap I hope the fox didn’t have any serious social commitments for the next 12-16 hours.

He’ll be lucky to make it to work on Monday.

Ominous magpie on the background: "if it all goes wrong, well, I'll be here"

Magpie is probably the one who told him to eat it.
