Peach-colored Fly Agaric
A fly agaric relative of eastern North America with a melon-pink to peach-orange cap, pale yellowish to tan warts, a fragile or absent ring and white spores. It was long treated as a variety of the Eurasian fly agaric, Amanita muscaria var. persicina. Tulloss & Geml raised it to species rank in 2015.
Poisonous and psychoactive; do not eat. It contains variable amounts of ibotenic acid and muscimol, the toxins of the fly agaric, causing confusion, delirium, drowsiness and gastrointestinal upset; legal status varies. Wikipedia advises that, pending further research, it should not be eaten. As with all Amanitas, deadly amatoxin-containing species grow in the same woods.
