One of the best-known edible mushrooms. Because some poisonous Amanita species look similar, only experienced people should collect mushrooms from this group.

Where does it live?

Grows on the forest floor in warm broadleaf forests, forming a partnership with trees.

Where the spores form

Gilled. Spores develop on thin plates called gills. Look underneath the cap for many thin, blade-like plates.

Did you know?

This mushroom begins its life inside a white, egg-shaped covering. As it grows, the young mushroom breaks free, leaving the cup-shaped base that can still be seen.
