  • Nature - Wild Life - Mushroom. It grows in silicate soil in the summer and autumn months. It bears a pale yellow or sometimes white cap, with white stem, ring and volva. It is an inedible mushroom due to its toxicity, but is more pertinently often confused for the lethal death cap.
    This mushroom has a fleshy pale yellow, or sometimes white, cap from 4-10 centimetres covered in irregular patches. The gills and flesh are white. There is a large volva at the base of the 6-8 cm tall stem, which has a clear ring. The false death cap is found in deciduous and coniferous woodlands in autumn in Europe. It is also found in North American oak and pine forests.
    This mushroom contains the alpha-amanitin toxin, but possibly in small enough amounts that would not cause adverse effects unless ingested at high quantity. It also contains the toxin bufotenine. Although it is considered inedible, the biggest danger with this species is that it is marked similarity to the death cap. In my video can be seen Amanita Citrina white and yellow, young, adult and old, and a comparison with Amanita Phalloides, an Old Citrina and a Young Phalloides plus a segment from an adult Phalloides. Because of the Sun light, in the forest, Amanita Citrina changes its colour in intense yellow or pale yellow. The stem of the old Amanita Citrina, change from white to brown. The lamellas can take on shades of rust when they are old. Thank you very much for watching my videos!
