DEATH CAP (Amanita phalloides) or not?

The Death Cap (Amanita phalloides) is one of the most deadly mushrooms in the UK. During an autumn walk in the Lake District of northern England, Ant comes across what he thinks is a Death Cap mushroom. Join him as he attempts to identify it using careful observation and various mushroom guides. If you have any thoughts about the identity of this mushroom, please share them in the comments below.

It’s missing the ring which is always possible with A. Phalloides. As others have said the striations on the cap indicate it’s a different amanita species. The volva is pronounced enough to where I would guess calyptroderma where the patch just didn’t stay on top. Personally I’d pass on this one 😂

Definitely not a death cap, this is Amanita Fulva, aka Tawny Grisette, distinguished by grooves round the edge of the cap and brown colour, a death cap would have no grooves and would be more olive green in colour

That's a Tawny Grisette; same genus as the Death Cap, but a different species.
(Amanita Fulva instead of Amanita Phalloides)
These are actually perfectly edible :)

What you did is still the best choice.
When you're unsure about a mushroom, you *don't* eat it.

the death cap is not "one of the deadliest mushrooms in the UK", it is the deadliest mushroom in the world

DEFINITELY not a death cap. Amanita fulva as said below. See the striate margin at 0:46? Death caps do not have this, and this feature is very pronounced in A. fulva. Also A.phalloides is much more olivaceous than brown.

As others have said, I reckon it's a tawny grisette. Edible, but why would you risk it if you're not absolutely sure? If in doubt, leave it out.

great vid mate, yeah i certainly wouldn't eat it, beautiful as it is.

Amanita fulva? Which is edible.?. I'm not that curious. (twangy grisette?)

[commendatori]

That is the death cap.. though their usually is a ring under the cap.. it has the vulva which also tells me it is a death cap.. can have either olive green or brown cap..

I think I ate some a few hours ago.

If I reply then I suppose I got lucky and it wasn't...
