Amanita malayensis is a mushroom in the family Amanitaceae. It is a rare mushroom, found mostly in Malaysia, Singapore, & Thailand, but is possibly found all over Indochina. It might be a Caesarea Amanita, bearing many similarities to that of Amanita hemibapha, Amanita javanica and Amanita rubromarginata.[1] While not consumed in Malaysia, it is eaten in rural Thailand. Due to its rarity and lack of research, not known is much about this mushroom, as this mushroom was only first discovered in the late 2000s. This Amanita usually grows in fairy rings.[2]
