Amanita excelsa, also known as the European false blushing amanita,[1][verification needed] is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae. It is found in Asia, Europe, and North America, where it grows in deciduous forests.[2]
This mushroom is a secondary food source for adults and larvae of the pleasing fungus beetle Tritoma biguttata, or at least its subspecies T.b.affinis.[3]
Toxicity
Amanita excelsa var. alba is inedible.[4]
A. excelsa var. spissa is edible, but can easily be confused with the highly poisonous A. pantherina.[5]
