The Brown star-footed Amanita

"Amanita brunnescens" is a native North American mushroom of the large genus "Amanita". Originally presumed to be the highly toxic "Amanita phalloides" by renowned American mycologist Charles Horton Peck, it was described and named by George F. Atkinson of Cornell University. He named it after the fact that it bruised brown.
