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.

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 …

No evidence the fox survived either. It was tricked into eating a mushroom that it wouldn't normally eat. Deer do occasionally eat fly agaric and suffer the effects. I've never seen any evidence of foxes eating them apart from this set-up.
