Amanita galactica is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae, first described by Giuliana Furci and Bryn Dentinger in 2020. The species was discovered in the Andes of southern Chile , living at the base of trees such as Nothofagus and Araucaria araucana.[1] The epithet galactica was given by Furci, and was inspired by the bright white spots on the black cap that reminded her of a galaxy dotted with stars.[1][2]
