Amanita gooseberry is known globally about 500 species, most of which are exogenous mycorrhizal fungi, there are records of poisoning deaths caused by accidental ingestion of poisonous fungi around the world every year, and the vast majority of them are due to accidental ingestion of poisonous gooseberry.

In China, about 100 species (or varieties) of gooseberry fungi have been recorded. On the basis of in-depth study of the model specimens or authoritative specimens of the relevant gooseberry species in East Asia, Europe and North America, we have studied the specimens of the genus Gooseberry taken from our country which are currently stored in six domestic and five foreign herbaria.

There are about 80 species of Gooseberry fungi reliably recorded in China, including 20 new species (or varieties) recently published and 20 newly recorded species in China.

The edible gooseberries in China mainly include the red and yellow gooseberry A. hemibapha (Berk. Broome) Sacc. composite group, cryptogamous green gooseberry A. manginiana sensu W.F. Chiu, pseudo-brown cloudy gooseberry A. pseudoporphyria Hongo, Chinese gooseberry A. sinensis Zhu L. Yang and Yuan's gooseberry A. yuaniana Zhu L. Yang, etc. They are very common in the producing areas. They are very common in the production area, with high yield, and are popular wild edible fungi. Collecting and selling the above edible fungi is one of the main economic sources for farmers in some remote areas of our country, so it should be emphasized on the development and utilization. The highly poisonous gooseberry in China mainly includes: A.fuliginea Hongo, A.subjunquillea S.Imai and its white variant A.subjunquillea var. alba Zhu L. Yang, A.oberwinklerana Zhu L. Yang, A.oberwinklerana Zhu L. YangYoshim.Yang, A.oberwinklerana Zhu L. YangYoshim.Yang, A.oberwinklerana Zhu L. YangYoshim.Yang, A.oberwinklerana Zhu L. YangYoshim.Yang, A.oberwinklerana Zhu L.

In the past, it was recorded that there were green-capped gooseberry A. phalloides (Fr.:Fr) Link, spring-born gooseberry A. verna (Bull.:Fr) Lam. and scale-shanked gooseberry A. virosa, which were originally described in Europe, and other highly toxic fungi in China. Bertillon, and other highly toxic fungi. These accounts are based on incorrect identification of specimens and therefore need to be corrected.
