Deathcap
Amanita phalloides
41.1869, 28.9708
Field Notes
Description:
The deathcap is responsible for most fatal mushroom poisonings worldwide, hence the name. It has smooth olivaceous green (sometimes yellowish) cap with faint radiating fibers, the stalk has a membranous partial veil (skirtlike ring), the mushroom is bulbous at the base of the stalk and has a saclike volva.
Habitat:
Spotted in Belgrad forest in Istanbul in a part mainly dominated by beech trees. Approx. Elevation 100 m.
Notes:
The third photo could explain why there are so many deaths from this poisonous mushroom, only 25 cm from it is growing what I believe to be a green russula, there are a lot of greenish russulas that are considered edible.
