Poisonous AmanitaPoisonous Amanita, also known as green hat mushroom, ghost brush Amanita, garlic leaf mushroom, high stem mushroom, and death cap abroad. The fruit body is generally of medium size. The cap surface is smooth, initially ovate to bell-shaped, and the surface is gray-green, ash-gray to dark green-gray. The flesh is white. The gills are white, the stem is white, slender, cylindrical, with a basal expansion into a ball, and the interior is soft to hollow.
Its stem ring is large and thick, in the form of a calyx, and white. The ring is white and grows on the upper part of the stem. In summer and autumn, it grows singly or in groups on the ground in broad-leaved forests. In the southern regions of Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hubei, Anhui, Fujian, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan. This mushroom is extremely poisonous! That's why the saying "red umbrella, white stalk, lie on the board together after eating" came about.
Spotted MushroomIts appearance is similar to that of the edible Agaricus bisporus, but the latter has a shorter stem and does not turn yellow when injured. The fruit body is larger, white, and quickly turns golden yellow when injured. It has a membranous ring but no stem ring. The cap is flattened and hemispherical. It grows singly or in groups on the ground in forests or grasslands in summer and autumn. It is poisonous and contains gastrointestinal irritants, which can cause headaches and diarrhea after consumption.
Lepiota AsperaFor Lepiota aspera, the English name may be more appropriate,丁香小菇 (ligularia), as its fruit body color varies greatly, from pink to dark yellow. The most common colors are ligularia purple, violet, or pink, but at least 11 different colors are known.
These individuals of different colors have no differences in microscopic morphology and all have a radish-like odor, but DNA evidence may prove that Lepiota aspera is actually a complex group. At least some fungi called Lepiota aspera contain amanita toxins, so although Lepiota aspera is considered an edible mushroom in some countries, it is best not to eat it.
Ochraceous LepiotaOchraceous Lepiota is also known as Ochraceous Mushroom. The fruit body is medium or large, with a cap covered in short villous scales, light brick red or purple, even brown-purple, often with a colored center, gills are yellow, oblique or nearly erect, flesh is white with yellow, and the stem is slender or robust. It grows in summer and autumn on decayed coniferous wood or tree stumps, in groups or clusters. It is poisonous, and after ingestion, it often causes symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, similar to gastrointestinal inflammation.
