Amanita vaginata, commonly known as the grisette, is an edible mushroom in the Amanitaceae family of fungi.Although not poisonous, most authors advise against consumption due to the possibility of mistaking other poisonous species of Amanita for it. I agree: with mushrooms need to be very cautious ..!This small amanita vaginata, newborn, I photographed in Sardinia (Italy). Photo © Daniela Serra 2016 – All Rights Reserved
