"Amanita caesarea", commonly known as Caesar's mushroom, is a highly regarded edible mushroom in the genus "Amanita", native to southern Europe and North Africa. While it was first described by Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in 1772, this mushroom was a known favorite of early rulers of the Roman Empire.
