Amanita citrina

Known as the false death cap, or Citron Amanita, ''Amanita citrina'', is a basidiomycotic mushroom, one of many in the genus ''Amanita''. It grows in silicate soil in the summer and autumn months. It bears a pale yellow or sometimes white cap, with white stem, ring and volva. Though it is not poisonous, its similarity to the lethal death cap precludes its use in cooking.
