Amanita elliptosperma, commonly known as the Atkinson's destroying angel, is a basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus Amanita. Although its toxicity is not confirmed, it is assumed to be deadly poisonous like its close relatives. Originally described from North Carolina, it is found in the eastern United States from New England to eastern Texas.[1]
