Snakeskin Grisette
A large ringless grisette with a dark gray-brown, strongly lined cap carrying charcoal-gray veil patches, and a white stem banded below with gray cottony girdles of volval tissue. It lacks a free sack-like volva; the veil remains break up around the stem base instead. The name has been applied in North America, but some researchers suspect North American collections are a different species.
Edibility disputed; not recommended. Some European guides list it as edible and others advise against it. Grisettes can be confused with deadly amatoxin-containing Amanitas, including the death cap (A. phalloides) and destroying angels, which have a ring (sometimes lost), an unlined or barely lined margin and a membranous sack-like volva. North American material under this name may not be the European species.
