The Eastern North American destroying angel

''Amanita bisporigera'' is a deadly poisonous species of fungus in the family Amanitaceae. It is commonly known as the eastern North American destroying angel or just as the destroying angel, although the fungus shares this latter name with three other lethal white ''Amanita'' species, ''A. ocreata'', ''A. verna'' and ''A. virosa''.
