This is the name of the most famous family of funguses, embracing a wide range of mushrooms from the most delicious, the Amanita Cesarea, to the most poisonous - including the A. phalloides, A. virosa, A. pantherina and the A. verna. All these are deadly mushrooms for which there is no antidote. The family also includes the very beautiful A. muscaria (fly agaric), which is red with white spots and is considered to be a hallucinogen, but can possibly cause death.
