Yellow patches

Amanita flavoconia

A species of Amanita mushrooms. Also known as American yellow dust amanita.

This stunning and vibrant species, adorned with yellow patches, features a cap that can be a profound marigold or vermillion, often presenting as a mix of both. Similar to other varieties within the Amanita genus, it's characterized by white, uneven warts. When its cap is significantly rounded, it bears a resemblance to the well-known red and white fungi from the Mario Bros video games. Despite its visual appeal, this species is poisonous and should not be collected.
