Saproamanita vittadinii, commonly known as the Vittadini's lepidella, is a European saprophyte mushroom classified in the genus Saproamanita. Unlike some Amanitas, this species is known to occur without accompanying woody plant symbionts.[2] It has a general aspect somewhat between Macrolepiota and Armillaria, but it is characterized by a pure white colour overall (whilst those genera are brownish) and by the squamous (scaly) covering of cap and stipe.[3][4]
In 2019, amateur mycologist Denis Pouclet experimentally ate 30 grams, fresh weight, of S. vittadinii from France without reported adverse symptoms.[5]
