One of the members of the large family of poisonous mushroom fly agaric is the Spotted fly agaric or also called Panther.
You can see it from late spring to October. It is distributed mainly in deciduous and mixed forests and extremely rarely in coniferous ones.
While the fungus is young, its cap is hemispherical, and at a later stage it becomes flat, and its skin is rusty gray oily in color.
The inside of the sponge is white and does not change color even after breaking.
Another thing you will notice on the Spotted Fly agaric are the densely arranged wide and white plates, which are difficult to separate from the fruit flesh. If you look closer you will also see colorless spores and white spore pollen.
The stump of this species of Amanita reaches a height of about 15 cm. Its shape is cylindrical and the color is shiny white. In young mushrooms the inside of the stump is dense, but in older members of this species you will notice that it becomes hollow and light. In the beginning it is thicker and has parallel annular formations.
The spotted fly agaric does not have a special taste or smell. Most people are familiar with, have seen, or at least heard of the Red Fly agaric, so the likelihood of consuming it is minimal.
However, if you have decided to collect mushrooms yourself, you must be extremely careful, because the Spotted Fly agaric can mislead you with its appearance and make it think of the edible Pearl Mushroom.
This is the main reason why the poisonings with Pantherka are so numerous, and at the same time extremely unpleasant, resembling strong alcohol poisoning.
