[edit] Article Source
This smells like it was taken from a copyrighted source. Can someone write something original here, or at least reword it? 68.100.96.143 02:58 Mar 22, 2003 (UTC)
- I am not sure it was. Most mushroom books that I have seen do not format their descriptions like this.RSIferd 23:24, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Location
Where is it found? Somewhere in the English speaking world given the name but beyond that we can only guess Billlion 19:14, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- This question also occured to me while reading the article. --HunterZ 22:08, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- In the northeastern United States it's quite common. In fact where I live it's the most common mushroom found in the forest during autumn (part of that is probably that it tends to be very conspicuous). I have a mushroom guide that lists its official range but I'd have to dig it up. --Bk0 (Talk) 00:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Extra Picture
It seems to me that this article is far to small to merit the extra picture. Shall we remove it?
[edit] delicious
Could it be that the Destroying Angel is so sinfully delicious, that God himself strikes down those who partake in its tasteful delights? ✈ James C. 05:31, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)
Yeah... As a Frenchman, I was just wondering where that one takes its name from.... Here, it's just a francisation of the latin name. --Svartalf 13:44, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- It probably gets it's name from a combination of it's appearnace and what happens after you eat it. It's pure white, which is a color associated with angels. When you eat it, well, DEATH.RSIferd 23:15, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] poisonous plants?
Should articles on poisonous mushrooms like (Lethal Webcaps, Death cap, destroying angel, etc) be categorized under poisonous plants? Personally, I don't think so as mushrooms do not belong to the kingdom of plants (plantae) at all, but a completely different kingdom (fungi).
So, should we remove the added categories or let them be? Comments appreciated.
