'''Amanita pantheria''' also known as Panther cap or false blusher (due to its similarity to the edible mushroom tree blusher) is a psychoactive mushroom in the Amanita genus. The main psychoactive compound in this mushroom is muscimol. The subjective effects of this mushroom however are not similar to [[:category:psilocybe|psilocybin mushrooms]].

'''Amanita pantheria''' also known as Panther cap or false blusher (due to its similarity to the edible mushroom, tree blusher) is a psychoactive mushroom in the Amanita genus. The main psychoactive compound in this mushroom is [[muscimol]]. The subjective effects of this mushroom however are not similar to [[:category:psilocybe|psilocybin mushrooms]].

==Habitat==

The panther cap is an uncommon mushroom, found in both deciduous, especially beech and, less frequently, coniferous woodland and rarely meadows throughout Europe, western Asia in late summer and autumn. It has also been recorded from South Africa, where it is thought to have been accidentally introduced with trees imported from Europe, and on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada.

It is an ectomycorrhizal fungus, living in root symbiosis with a tree, deriving photosynthesised nutrients from it and providing soil nutrients in return.
