General Info
Toxicity
Conifer webcap is typically found in forested habitats, especially near conifers, in fall and early winter. It features a distinct web-like veil covering the cap. Consumption produces adverse health effects, including intense thirst, head pain, renal discomfort, and significant liver and kidney damage marked by high blood pressure and a late stage of vomiting. Ultimately, it results in kidney failure indicated by transparent urine.
