"Amanita virosa, the Death Angel

Far right: Lepiota naucina, an edible often found growing near virosa; to be avoided because of its superficial resemblance to the Fatal One; note its neat movable ring, very different from the flaccid Amanitan rag: it base, though plump, does not grow out of a volva."

In publication, Page 29: "Reflections on the Fungaloids" by B.L. Williamson, Ottawa, 1992. ISBN 1-894572-65-3
