On the bottom of the botanical mushroom a description in German with characteristics of the cap, the stem, slats, spurs, odor, taste and common living and growing conditions. The panther cap model is still made by Somso.
Amanita pantherina, commonly referred to as the panther cap, false blusher, or panther amanita, earns its name from its resemblance to the true blusher (Amanita rubescens). This fungus is native to Eurasia and possesses both toxic and psychoactive characteristics.
