Mushrooms in the genus Amanita are mycorrhizal (symbiotic) with certain trees, most notably oaks and various conifers. Some of these mushrooms, such as the Death Cap (A. phalloides) and the Destroying Angel (A. virosa and A. bisporigera), are deadly poisonous and account for the vast majority of the world's fatal mushroom poisonings. Here is a sampling of some of the most common and significant North American species, particularly ones that are found in the northeastern United States. More information will be added to this page soon, so be sure to check back for updates.
