About the Deadly Galerina
Galerina marginata, a small brown mushroom carrying the same amatoxins as the death cap. Grows on stumps beside edible velvet shank and honey fungus, and slips into baskets. The rust brown spore print separates it. Has killed foragers on multiple continents. Little brown mushrooms are for experts only.
