“The Destroyong Angel, one of the most strikingly beautiful of our mushrooms, is usually found alone or in a small, scattered group, shining white against a green or brown backdrop…. Symptoms of poisoning by the Destroying Angel are like those of the deadly Death Cap (A. phalloides), and include vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps. Kidney and/or liver dysfunction follow and, without treatment, can result in death. Along with the deadly Death Cap, the destroying angels constitute the group of deadly amanitas.” (National Audubon Society Field Guide to North Merican Mushrooms, pg. 551-552)
