"Amanita brunnescens", also known as the brown star-footed amanita or cleft-footed amanita is a native North American mushroom of the large genus "Amanita". Originally presumed to be "Amanita phalloides" by renowned American mycologist Charles Horton Peck it was described and named by G. F. Atkinson of Cornell University. He named it after the fact that it bruised brown.cite journal |quotes=no |author=Litten W. |year=1975 |title=The most poisonous mushrooms |journal=Scientific American |volume=232 |issue=3 |pages=90–101]

It differs from the death cap by its fragile volva and tendency to bruise brown.
