DeathCap (Amanita phalloides)

跟Destroying Angel二者属于英国最毒的蘑菇。不常见，但有些年份会很多。

Deathcap也叫毒鹅膏/鬼笔鹅膏，可以指欧洲的黄绿毒鹅膏菌，东亚的黄盖毒鹅膏菌。

幼毒鹅膏和可以食用草菇很像。可以通过Spore Print区分，草菇Spore Print为粉红色。

Cap， Olive/green sometimes with a flush of tan or yellow. Slimy when wet but still looking shiny when dry. （菌盖沾水黏性变强，表皮易脱落）。

Gills, white/cream, free of the stem. Crowded.

Stem, white with a bulbous base and surrounded by a thin veil (volva) which is sack-like at ground height, tapering slightly towards the cap. The top of the volva will often be found attached to the stem more than halfway up, looking like a skirt.

Skirt, has obvious striations under the skirt sometimes visible on top.

Volva, a very obvious deep volva.

Flesh, white.

Spore print, white.

The symptoms start several hours after ingestion with severe vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pains and can last for a few days; this is followed by what seems to be a full recovery for a few days but ending in death from kidney and liver failure. The main poison, alpha-amanitin, kills liver cells and passes through the kidneys to be recirculated and cause more damage.
