Amanita princeps, the head man slender Caesar, is a species of agaric fungus in the genus Amanita. It is found in tropical China, Southeast Asia, and the Malay Peninsula down to Singapore.

The mushroom's cap can have a variety of colours, ranging from white, beige, ochre, olive; similar to that of Amanita phall......read more on Wikipedia.
