Amanita magnivelaris, commonly known as the great felt skirt destroying angel or the great feltskirt destroying angel amanita, [1] is a highly toxic basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus Amanita . Originally described from Ithaca, New York, by Charles Horton Peck, it is found in New York state and southeastern Canada. [2]
Like most other Amanita mushrooms, the great felt skirt destroying angel is hepatotoxic and can cause serious liver damage which can be fatal.
