Amanita
The genus Amanita contains about 600 described species of agarics, including some of the most toxic known mushrooms found worldwide, as well as some well-regarded edible species (and many species of unknown edibility). The genus is responsible for 95% of fatalities resulting from mushroom poisoning, with the death cap accounting for 90% of fatalities every year. The most potent toxin synthesized by this genus is .
AI overview
Amanita is a genus of mushrooms found worldwide that includes both highly toxic species and edible ones, though many species have unknown safety. This genus is responsible for the vast majority of mushroom poisoning deaths—95% overall—making it critically important for anyone who forages mushrooms to identify and avoid its dangerous members.

鵝膏菌屬（学名：Amanita）包含大約600個傘菌物種，包含一些世界有名的最毒菇類，但也包括一些可食用菇類。本屬的菇類造成了95%的毒菇致死案例，其中光是毒鹅膏就占有50%。在這些菇類中被發現到最強力的毒性成分為α-鵝膏菌素。 本屬也包含了很多可食用菇類，但是真菌學家不鼓勵菇類獵人，除具有足夠知識的專家外，選取此屬內任何菇類給予人類食用。雖然如此，一些鵝膏菌屬菇類在生長季節期間是當地主流食用品種。其中一些例子是在中部非洲的Amanita zambiana和其他肉質品種、墨西哥的A. basii和相似品種、歐洲的白橙蓋鵝膏、和東南亞的白條蓋鵝膏菌。也有一些被用來做著色調味料，像是廣泛生長於加拿大東部和墨西哥東部的紅色A. jacksonii。 本屬很多物種目前不知道是否可食用，尤其在澳洲等很多菌種都只有少量認知的國家。

The genus also contains many edible mushrooms, but mycologists discourage mushroom hunters from selecting any of these for human consumption due to the potentially lethal consequences of misidentification. Nonetheless, in some cultures, the larger local edible species of Amanita are mainstays of the markets in the local growing season. Samples of this are Amanita zambiana and other fleshy species in central Africa, A. basii and similar species in Mexico, A. caesarea and the "Blusher" A. rubescens in Europe, and A. chepangiana in Southeast Asia. Other species are used for colouring sauces, such as the red A. jacksonii, with a range from eastern Canada to eastern Mexico.
