Lepiota brunneoincarnata, also known as the deadly dapperling, is a gilled mushroom of the genus Lepiota in the order Agaricales. It is known to contain deadly amounts of alpha-Amanitin and was responsible for a fatal poisoning in Spain, and for the deaths of four young members of the same family in Tunisia. It is widely distributed in Europe and temperate regions of Asia.
