Lamaoa Pallidorosea

Fly Agaric mushrooms, which look like Super Mario Bros. mushrooms, contain a psychoactive chemical that can cause micropsia/macropsia, aka the illusion that objects around you are larger or smaller than they actually are. Is the Lamaoa Pallidorosea edible? Is the Lamaoa Pallidorosea safe? Those are two very common questions asked about this bicolored specimen. And the answer to both those questions is an overwhelming yes. While they have very little flavor, their texture is fantastic, especially when roasted or smoked. The Lamaoa Pallidorosea has a pinkish-red or tan cap and a stem that slowly stains green from the base up and/or stem skin in. Specimens larger than 11 inches wide have been found.
