Amanita ovoidea considered edible, but with rotten fish smell. also it's part of the Amanitas family, and resembles very much the Amanita proxima that is extremely poisonous. I never touch any of the Amanitas.  Amanita ovoidea,Fall,Geotagged,Israel Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro

  1. Good choice, I pretty much never take my chances with fungi :) Posted 4 years ago
    1. thank you
      I know about 15 species of edible fungi and about 20 species of non edible.
      I never take chances with mushrooms, my moto is - in case of a doubt, there's no doubt: just leave it there.
