There are white Amanita muscaria (and Amanita amerimuscaria), traditionally known as Amanita muscaria var. alba (though recent phylogenetic analysis has shown they aren’t a true subspecies; cap color of the fly agaric is a polymorphic trait; the white caps can arise spontaneously from isolated populations).

Amateurs should not attempt to identify these, as there’s the potential for confusing the mushroom with one of its deadly cousins.

Amanita panthera;

The only edible ‘white’ member of the Amanita genus.

Always excercise caution, though, as it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Buy online, from a reputable source.

Don’t eat wild mushrooms, unless you are trained in the profession. Ever.

Rich obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

When the guide above refers to white fly agarics, it is NOT refering to death caps or destroying angels (neither of which have warts on the cap). It is referring to Amanita muscaria var. alba, the white-capped fly agaric. It is morphologically identical to other fly agarics (bearing the characteristic warts, pendant annulus, and concentric fuzzy rings at the base of the stipe above the bulb). The only difference is the cap color (which is a polymorphic trait within the muscaria group).

I will agree that only expert identifiers should pick A. muscaria var. alba, due to the dangers of misidentification.

There is, in fact, a subspecies of amanita muscaria that is entirely white. Its true classification is Muscaria amanita var. alba. Best make sure your information is accurate Rich before you go about questioning another’s credibility.

Nobody here ever said the white ones are edible, only that there are white ones. For non-experts, the safest way to get Amanita muscaria mushrooms is to purchase them from a reputable source.

Don’t take this guys word for it – The White Amanitas are not edible; the white Amanitas are called A. Virosa, the white “Destroying Angel”
