Amanita phalloides, commonly known as the death cap. It is one of the most poisonous of all known mushrooms. 

Even very small fragments can be lethal (about 0.1 milligrams of fresh weight for every kilogram of weight of the person who ingests it), so about 7 mg for a 70 kg adult man; furthermore, the mushroom retains all its poisonous properties even after cooking, drying and freezing.

Found it today, 15 October 2023.

Just realized that the epithet in A. phalloides literally means penis-like. Like i knew that phallus meant dick but like i never made the connection to "phalloides". Incredibly deadly toxin phalloidin just means penis poison. sure why not

My name is Mary Katherine Blackwood. I am eighteen years old, and I live with my sister Constance. I have often thought that with any luck at all I could have been born a werewolf, because the two middle fingers on both my hands are the same length, but I have had to be content with what I had. I dislike washing myself, and dogs, and noise. I like my sister Constance, and Richard Plantagenet, and Amanita phalloides, the death-cup mushroom. Everyone else in my family is dead.

“I love you, Constance,” I said. “And I love you, my Merricat,” Constance said. 

“Constance has succumbed to Merricat entirely: the “good” sister has yielded to the “evil” sister. Constance even berates herself for being “wicked”—“I should never have reminded you of why they all died”—in this way acknowledging her complicity in the deaths. Now we understand why Constance never accused Merricat of the poisonings or made any attempt to defend herself against accusations that she was the murderer for, in her heart, she was and is the Blackwoods’ murderer, and not Merricat; that is, not only Merricat. Her acknowledgement tacitly guarantees the sisters’ permanent expulsion from the world of normal people—a world in which the psychologically damaged Merricat could not survive. We Have Always Lived in the Castle ends on an unexpectedly idyllic note like a fairy-tale romance in which lovers have found each other and even the villagers, repentant of their cruelty, pay the Blackwood sisters homage by bringing food offerings to them, left at the ruins of their doorstep: “Sometimes they brought bacon, home-cured, or fruit, or their own preserves... Mostly they brought roasted chicken; sometimes a cake or a pie, frequently cookies, sometimes a potato salad or coleslaw... Sometimes pots of baked beans or macaroni...” Here is the very Eros of food, an astonishing wish-fulfilment fantasy in which the agoraphobic is not pitied but revered, idolized...”

— Joyce Carol Oates in her afterword for Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle

So I've run into an interesting issue with my new amanita bisporigera tattoo. The design I went with includes the volva at the base of the stalk, which I did want, as I requested the full image of the fruiting body. However. Especially if my sleeve is rolled down to cover the cap and gills. It ummmmmm looks rather phallic. Lmfao.

#txt #dionysian of me perhaps. #i think the solution is to get some vining plants or something as an addition to the start of a botanical half sleeve #and have the vines curl around the volva to disrupt the shape #for now i just live like this though! #would have been even funnier if I'd asked for amanita phalloides #ill post a pic maybe tonight too. had to take saniderm off yesterday in the showet bc water got in it

this is the first time i'm posting a picture of fungi that *i* took, so no need to cite my sources here B-) anyway, i found these at the start of winter with my brother. it was really freaking bizarre, since i've hardly found that many mushrooms in person, but i found literally the most poisonous mushroom we know of. you can imagine i was going insane (positive) !!

Don't call my name in battle - it's not wise Do not distract me when you see a new soul in these eyes. For when the War God fills this flesh I wear, I am no more your friend, I am the spirit of the bear.

The newly found ability of Amanita phalloides to reproduce asexually means that it can spread faster than before. There aren't as many invasive fungi as there are invasive plants in North America, but this definitely counts as one of them.

One of the things I emphasize multiple times in my foraging classes is that you should never, ever eat something unless you are 100% positive it is an edible species. Many of the poisonings from this species are from folks who grew up eating paddy straw mushrooms (Volvariella volvacea) in Asia, visited or moved to Europe or North America, and mistook A. phalloides for these edibles. And it's important to do your own identifying rather than relying on someone else; there are multiple cases of mushroom poisonings where someone was given the mushrooms by someone else who said they were edible.

When in doubt, throw it out! It is totally okay to want to be an old, rather than bold, mushroom hunter.
