Leucocoprinus leucothites. Not an amanita.

[u/Just-Nic-LeC → u/I_like_Mashroms]

That’s crazy cool you know that

[u/-Blackfish → u/I_like_Mashroms]

Curious to how you give ID when no region specified? Not doubting. Just fascinated.

[u/I_like_Mashroms → u/-Blackfish]

It has a pretty global distribution and it's in season now.

We're gonna see a lot more soon.

[u/jennr246 → u/I_like_Mashroms]

Don't the slight ridge lines around the cap also rule out amanita ? I only see a little and I'm newer to id so just wondering.

[u/I_like_Mashroms → u/jennr246]

Yea, marginal striations help rule out Sect. Phalodieae.

[u/RdCrestdBreegull → u/I_like_Mashroms]

I know was a typo, but spelling for those reading — sect. Phalloideae

[u/RdCrestdBreegull → u/jennr246]

some Amanita sections will have inherent cap margin striations with prime fresh specimens, while some will not — https://www.reddit.com/r/amanita/s/8MFY0zIJVg — although the ones that don’t can have striations after some environmental weathering :)

destroying angels (which are within section Phalloideae) do not have cap margin striations with fresh prime mature specimens but can have them once weathered

OP’s mushroom, Leucocoprinus leucothites, does not have cap margin striations with fresh prime specimens. the striations we’re seeing with OP’s mushroom are the result of age and weathering :)

[u/PrscheWdow → u/RdCrestdBreegull]

Off topic but I love that the first descriptor for Roanokenses is "messy" lol

Jokes aside, this is a great tool.

[u/jennr246 → u/RdCrestdBreegull]

Thank you so much for the explanation!

I did not know that after age/weathering they may show the striations (destroying angel or OP's mushroom).

[u/[deleted]]

Beautiful spore print

[u/RdCrestdBreegull → u/[deleted]]

OP’s mushroom is edible

[u/SoggyAd9450 → u/[deleted]]

It's not a destroying angel or even an amanita or even toxic. Leocoagaricus leucothites, white dapperling. Nontoxic,

[u/ThingsMycological → u/[deleted]]

Too soon!

[u/Ruby5000 → u/[deleted]]

I forgot about that! It was beef Wellington;)

"Ze Babayaga!"

[u/Billyg88 → u/Lavasioux]

“Yeah, I’m thinking I’m cap”

[u/waitwheresmychalupa → u/[deleted]]

This one needs a little ranch

[u/warneagle]

Leucoagaricus leucothites. It’s not a destroying angel, if that’s what you thought it was.

[u/Bawbag420 → u/warneagle]

Im not disagreeing with you but what are how can you tell?

[u/warneagle → u/Bawbag420]

Lack of a saccate volva at the base is the biggest giveaway.

[u/Bawbag420 → u/warneagle]

After a quick Google i can see it now thanks

[u/RdCrestdBreegull → u/Bawbag420]

cap texture, annulus appearance, lack of volva / volval limbs :)

[u/Expensive-Letter-691]

Previously Leucoagaricus leucothites now Leucocoprinus leucothites

[u/RdCrestdBreegull]

Leucocoprinus leucothites (Leucoagaricus leucothites s.l.), edible

[u/Mission_Hawk4662]

That is a no-eaty

[u/RdCrestdBreegull → u/Mission_Hawk4662]

it’s edible :)

[u/Gullible_Pin5844]

It looks like amanita.

[u/1993Haley1993]

Peppermint Lifesaver?

[u/Affectionate-Fox1133]

White mushrooms with white spore print is a sign of very dangerous amanitas and I wouldn’t ever eat this even if someone thought it was something else it’s to dangerous destroying angles are all white and have a white spore print and I’m almost certain that’s an amanita

[u/Eiroth → u/Affectionate-Fox1133]

Harmless Leucocoprinus!

[u/MrUniverse1990]

That looks like a Destroying Angel, one of the most toxic mushrooms on the planet.

Edit to clarify: I am in no way asserting that this is a destroying angel, I'm simply stating that I think it looks like one. I could be wrong.

[u/SoggyAd9450 → u/MrUniverse1990]

Looks like superficially, in fact is not

[u/BiIIiamCIinton → u/MrUniverse1990]

Looks can be deceiving MrUniverse1990

[u/420Bosco]

Wild most likely poisonous
