Amanita vaginata
1783Summary
Amanita vaginata, commonly known as the grisette or the grisette amanita, is an edible mushroom in the fungus family Amanitaceae, but must be thoroughly cooked to destroy its toxins. The cap is gray or brownish, 5 to 10 centimetres (2 to 4 inches) in diameter, and has furrows around the edge that duplicate the gill pattern underneath. Unlike many other Amanita mushrooms, A. vaginata lacks a ring on the stem. A. vaginata is widely distributed in Europe and North America. It is not recommended for consumption due to the possibility of confusing it with related poisonous species....read more on Wikipedia.
