 Lepiota subincarnata is a gilled mushroom of the genus Lepiota in the order Agaricales. It is known to contain amatoxins and consuming this fungus can be potentially lethal.[2] First described scientifically by the Danish mycologist Jakob Emanuel Lange in 1940,[3] the species is found in Asia, Europe, and North America.[4]
