This is one of the most poisonous European toadstools. All parts of the fungus are deadly, and it should never be eaten . The cap is typically yellowish to olivaceous green, sometimes paling almost to white, usually with darker streaks radiating outwards . It is convex at first, but becomes flattened as it ages, and may develop a sickly sweet smell . The gills underneath the cap are white, and the white stem has a distinct ring, although this may become damaged or lost . The base of the stem bulges into a 'bulb', which is covered by a white sheath known as a volva
