La`au Kana`ono Kumamahiku.....67th Plant
Kingdom Fungi
Destroying Angel, Death Angel
Amanita marmorata
These are one of the more common mushrooms in Hawaii, introduced
with Eucalyptus trees from Australia. Amanita are possibly fatal
if eaten; victims live about two days, and if survive will sustain
some degree of liver damage. Yet some Amanitas are edible, but it's
probably better not to risk identifying the wrong one. Mushrooms
are not plants, but I'll include some plant-like things here also.
