Bolteus Letalis Roseus-Maculosus

I This mushroom in particular I did not discover. I’m unsure who did, I know a person was brought to me who was dying. It was later discovered it was due to this mushroom. Gardenia Sage’s Forest Notes I found a cure! Centuries after my great-grandmother thought we couldn’t have one.
