Amanita ocreata, commonly known as the death angel, destroying angel, angel of death or more precisely western North American destroying angel, is a deadly poisonous.
Its principal toxic constituent, α-Amanitin, damages the liver and kidneys, often fatally, and has no known antidote.View attachment 2188329

Now this red one seems to have the Death Angel for backup.

Here is what the poison is-nice stuff if you don't like something.

α-Amanitin (alpha-Amanitin) is a cyclic peptide of eight amino acids. It is possibly the most deadly of all the amatoxins, toxins found in several species of the mushroomgenus Amanita, one being the death cap (Amanita phalloides) as well as the destroying angel, a complex of similar species, principally A. virosa and A. bisporigera. It is also found in the mushrooms Galerina marginata, Lepiota subincarnata and Conocybe filaris. The oral LD50 of amanitin is 100 μg/kg for rats.

Had destroying angels at my original homestead.
Thy emerge looking like a hard boiled egg breaking the surface.
One small area they grew ; just into the woodline.

As an aside , I moved a white pine to build a kennel. Put it in the front yard near popples (a key for what followed) and morel mushroom s(blacks) grew at it's dripline after some years.
I used to put my morel rinse water around my compost pile about 70 yards away.
