Panthercap: the species in brief

How to tell it

The cap is grey-brown to dark brown with small white patches. The gills are white. There is usually a ring on the stem and a bulbous base with a distinct rim or collar. The plain brown cap makes it less obvious than Fly Agaric.

Where it grows

Mostly in broadleaved and mixed woodland, often on light or sandy soils.
