The Death Cap

Amanita phalloides

DEATH CAP This is the most poisonous fungus known to man! Do not even touch it! John is touching it here but he knows what he is doing and thoroughly washed afterwards before touching anything else. This mushroom is more difficult to identify because it looks like many others. But it and the destroying angel mushroom are so plentiful here that I am learning to identify them.
