Extract from Wikipedia article: Known as the false death cap, or Citron Amanita, Amanita citrina (previously also known as Amanita mappa), is a basidiomycotic mushroom, one of many in the genus Amanita. It grows in silicate soil in the summer and autumn months. It bears a pale yellow or sometimes white cap, with white stem, ring and volva. Though it is not poisonous, its similarity to the lethal death cap (Amanita phalloides) precludes its use in cooking.
Amanita citrina is a mushroom species characterized by its yellow to yellow-green cap, white gills, and bulbous base. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in association with coniferous trees, particularly pine and spruce, in sandy soils. Fruiting bodies are often found in late summer to early autumn, with a peak in August and September. The species is relatively common in the region's forests, including those within urban areas of St. Petersburg.
