Pleurotus ostreatus
"Amanita ceciliae" is considered an edible mushroom and used as food, although many field guides recommend to avoid eating it. Others recommend it as a good edible species. A study of 16 edible mushrooms was done to learn about their chemical compositions and antioxidant activities. Among these species, "A. ceciliae" and "Pleurotus ostreatus" were the two mushrooms that showed most powerful radical scavenging activities.
