Death Cap vs Fly Agarics
    #18748270 - 08/23/13 05:50 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Ok Ive got some questions.

I was looking around for mushrooms today in a pine forest, and came across what looked like some sort of Amanita.

At first I thought it was just Muscaria, but then I thought since its young I could be mistaking it for the Death Cap (Amanita Phalloides)

So I guess I should ask: is is possible for the Death Cap mushroom to have any of those white spots on the cap or are they always smooth?

Thanks, I dont want to accidentally pick a fatal species

I would think you'd be unlikely to mistake A. phalloides with A. muscaria unless you were really lazy at your ID process.

More likely to mistake a Lepidella with a white A. muscaria, but even that is if you're not looking at all the details.

Just my overly humble opinion

A. phalloides has a completely different texture to the universal veil, so when it breaks you will end up with a sac like volva, and occasionally a "skull cap", but not the warts like the fly.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
