Where to look: panthercap

A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.

About the species. Highly poisonous and potentially fatal. Poisoning can cause severe neurological symptoms and requires urgent medical attention. Panthercap can be confused with the edible Blusher and with young mushrooms of other species. Do not collect it for food.

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.
