Amanita pantherina, also known as the panther cap and false blusher due to its similarity to the true blusher, is a species of fungus found in Europe and Western Asia Like many species of Amanita section Amidella, A. neoovoidea has more than one distinct volval layer. Below the firm, yellowish or tannish membranous layer (commonly left on the cap as a calyptra) is a powdery layer. This species is edible and eaten in a variety of preparations in Japan (for example, as tempura or in soups). Because of this fact, reports that it contains the same kidney toxin as Amanita smithiana Bas (section Lepidella) may require reinvestigation. The type species of section Amidella, A. volvata (Peck) Lloyd, as well as other North American, European, and east Asian taxa (e.g., A. avellaneosquamosa (S. Imai) S. Imai and A. clarisquamosa (S. Imai) E.-J. Gilbert) of section Amidella, have flesh that will often turn pink when cut or bruised. Moreover, old wounds and powdery remnants of the volval often become brown or reddish brown in age in these species. Amanita neoovoidea lacks these two characters. A distinctive odor is also not commonly reported for taxa of the section. The species most similar to A. neoovoidea are A. ovoidea (Bull. : Fr.) Link and A. proxima Dumée. The species was originally described from Japan. It is also known from China and Nepal. Yang (1997) provides the most recent taxonomic description of this species.—R. E. Tulloss Amanita porphyria, also known as the grey veiled amanita, is a fairly common, inedible mushroom of the genus Amanita found in Europe and North America. Coprinopsis atramentaria, commonly known as the common ink cap or inky cap, is an edible mushroom found in Europe and North America. Previously known as Coprinus atramentarius, it is the second best known ink cap and previous member of the genus Coprinus after C. comatus Cortinarius bolaris [Basidiomycetes > Agaricales > Cortinariaceae > Cortinarius ... ] by Michael Kuo This species is fairly easily recognized (for a Cortinarius) by the bright, brownish red scales covering its cap and stem. Additional identifying features include the cylindric (rather than swollen) shape of the stem, the rusty orange bruising of the stem base, and the fact that the cap and stem are dry. Like other species of Cortinarius it grows on the ground and features a cortina and a rusty brown spore print. Description: Ecology: Mycorrhizal with hardwoods (perhaps exclusively with beech and oaks, though it is sometimes reported under conifers), often in wet areas; growing alone, gregariously, or in small troops; summer and fall; widely distributed in eastern North America, and documented in Costa Rica.

Discina perlata, commonly known as pig's ears is a brown to tannish, wrinkled, cup- or ear-shaped fungus, sometimes with short, stout stalk. The spores of D. perlata are quite similar to those of mushrooms in the genus Gyromitra, so that some mycologists classify it there
