Amanita ibotengutake is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae native to Japan. It was first described in 2002 as distinct on a genetic level from A. pantherina , and earlier has been classified under that name. ^{[1] [2]}

The scientific name derives from Japanese name of A. strobiliformis , ibotengutake (疣天狗茸, lit. "wart tengu mushroom"), which inspired the name of ibotenic acid. A. ibotengutake contains ibotenic acid and muscimol, rendering it toxic and psychoactive. ^[3]
