Amanita Muscaria var. formosa (Fly Agaric Mushrooms, Amanitas) 

Amanita muscaria var. formosa is yellow to light orange in color, unlike it's red cousin Amanita muscaria var. musaria.  Amanita muscaria has historical use as far back as we have history, and it shouldnt be hard to suppose that prehistoric humans, in their activities as hunter/gatherer, recognized that there were mushrooms and other plants that had benefits not related to hunger.

Today Amanita muscaria var. formosa are not as well known as the red Fly Agaric Mushrooms.
