Family: Agaricaceae
Lepiota brunneoincarnata, also known as the deadly dapperling, is a gilled mushroom of the genus Lepiota in the order Agaricales. It is known to contain amatoxins and consuming this fungus can be a potentially lethal proposition; it was responsible for a fatal poisoning in Spain. It is widely distributed in Europe and temperate regions of Asia.
It has white gills and spores. They typically have rings on the stipes, which in larger species are detachable and glide up and down the stipe. The cap is 1.5–4 cm (0.6–1.6 in) across
