Amanita caesarea
Amanita caesarea (Caesar's Mushroom), is an edible mushroom in family Amanitaceae, native to southern Europe. The common name comes from its being a favorite of the Roman emperors, which took the name Caesar (originally a family name) as a title. Other common names include Royal Amanita, Amanite de César, Oronge, or Kaiserling in German. Because this mushroom closely resembles the fly agaric, many people do believe that the Caesar's mushroom is actually the edible version of this poisonous mushroom.
