Amanita fulva

Amanita fulva, distributed throughout Europe, occurs in a variety of forests.

It is very similar to the more widespread Amanita fulva but can be distinguished by microscopic features of the volva.

Amanita fulva was first described by Jacob Christian Schäffer in 1774.

Amanita fulva is one of the few edible species in the genus Amanita.

The tawny grisette (Amanita fulva) was once thought to be a variety of A. vaginata.

Amanita fulva, commonly called the tawny grisette, is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Amanita.

In addition, the name Amanita fulva has in the past been misapplied to other North American taxa, such as A. amerifulva and others.

Amanita fulva is considered to be widely distributed in North America in deciduous and coniferous forests, although collections could possibly be of a different, yet undescribed species.

However, although it is often referred to by the common name "grisette", it is not closely related to other edible species that carry this common name, such as Amanita vaginata and Amanita fulva.

It is similar to Amanita fulva (Orange-brown Ringless Amanita or Tawny Grisette) and Amanita caesarea (Caesar's Mushroom), belonging to the Vaginatae and Caesareae sections of Amanita genus respectively.
