It is an inedible mushroom due to its toxicity, but is more pertinently often confused for the lethal death cap.

This mushroom has a fleshy pale yellow, or sometimes white, cap from 4–10 centimetres (1+1⁄2–4 inches) across, covered in irregular patches.

[2] The false death cap is found in deciduous and coniferous woodlands in autumn in Europe.

This mushroom contains the alpha-amanitin toxin,[citation needed] but possibly in small enough amounts that would not cause adverse effects unless ingested at high quantity.
