Mushroom expert Rob Chrispijn found the rare sticky knob amanita, known as the Angel of Death, in two locations on the De Paltz estate in Soest, near the Herman van Veen Arts Center. The threatened species is on the Dutch Red List and had not been recorded on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug since the 1990s. One specimen is being examined, while the other remains on the estate. The mushroom is poisonous and can cause severe illness if eaten without medical treatment.
