Amanita caesareoides

Amanita caesareoides or Caesar's mushroom (scientific name: Amanita caesareoides) is an edible mushroom in the family Amanitaceae. The larvae (juveniles) are covered with a white outer skin that resembles an eggshell. When the fungus becomes a mature, it pops out of the skin and forms a red umbrella and yellow stem. It looks like a poisonous mushroom because of its linear red color, which is similar to that of the Benitengu mushroom, but it is edible. However, it is edible, especially the juveniles covered with a white outer skin, which are said to be delicious.
