Amanita farinosa, commonly known as the floury amanita,

poisonous mushroom of the genus Amanita,[4]
a genus of fungi including some of the most deadly mushrooms.

Taxonomy

Two recent molecular studies show that A. farinosa is part of a subgroup within Amanita with its close relatives A. muscaria, A. gemmata and A. roseotincta.[5][6]

Description

The cap is 2.5–7 centimetres (1–3 inches) in diameter, domed in young and flat in older specimens, with a striate margin. It is whitish grey and covered with brownish grey volval or mealy material. The

μm in measurement and inamyloid. The spores are smooth and round to broadly elliptical. The flesh is white in color. It does not stain on exposure.[7] In old specimens, the smell can be strong and that of mink
.

The

poisonous mushroom resembles some other members of its genus.[8]

Distribution and habitat

An uncommon mushroom, it is found in eastern North America from summer to autumn underwood hardwood trees.[8]
