Amanita magniverrucata, commonly known as the pine cone amanita,[1][2] or great pine jewel, is a species of agaric mushroom in the family Amanitaceae. First described scientifically by American mycologists Harry Delbert Thiers and Joseph Ammirati in 1982, it is mycorrhizal and associates with the tree Pinus radiata, which is commonly known as the Monterey pine.[3]
While its edibility is unknown, it may be poisonous,[4] as are many Amanitas.
