Amanita Banningiana

The Amanita Banningiana, commonly referred to as the Yellow Caesar because of its yellow to yellowish bronze cap, maxes out at about 10 cm. across, with a stem less than 2 cm. thick. Though the Amanita Banningiana group is fairly easily recognized and has been recorded in eastern North America since the beginning of the 20th century, this species has not yet been officially described and published.

As to whether or not the Amanita Banningiana is safe or edible, considering most mushrooms in the Amanita genus are toxic, its best to avoid these mushrooms.
