The vermilion grisette, also known as pretty grisette or vermilion amanita is a colourful mushroom of the genus "Amanita". However, although it is often referred to by the common name "grisette", it is not closely related to other edible species that carry this common name, such as "Amanita vaginata" and "Amanita fulva". It belongs to the same group of "Amanita" as "A. muscaria" and is reported to be toxic.
