Lepiota subincarnata is a gilled mushroom of the genus Lepiota in the order Agaricales. It is known to contain amatoxins and consuming this fungus can be potentially lethal.[2] The species is found in Asia, Europe, and North America,[3] in woods as well as richly soiled parks.[4] It was first described scientifically by the Danish mycologist Jakob Emanuel Lange in 1940.[5] Bon and Boiffard described Lepiota josserandii in 1974, which turned out to be the same species.

The mushroom's cap is light red to red-brown and cream-colored closer to the margin. The gills are whitish and the flesh is white to pinkish towards the top. The stem may be slightly larger at the base, cream-colored with patches of the cap color. The odor is somewhat fruity and the taste of the poisonous mushroom is unpleasant.[4]
