Amanita chrysoblema, with the common name American fly agaric, yellow/orange variant, is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus Amanita . Although named chrysoblema, it is traditionally thought to be an Amanita muscaria variant, a group of fungi commonly known as fly agarics.
A. chrysoblema has a cap that ranges from red, yellow, to white. The cap may have grooves on its margins, but is otherwise similar to the usual fly agaric form. [2]
The fungus is poisonous [3] due to high levels of ibotenic acid and muscimol.
