Toxicity

Since Amanita strobiliformis is in Amanita section Lepidella, it seems pretty unlikely to me that it would contain ibotenic acid.

@Alan Rockefeller: The source cited in the article is available here, but it appears to be somewhat weird that Amanita strobiliformis does contain ibotenic acid in Japan, but not in North America. For now I have changed "A. strobiliformis contains" into "A. strobiliformis can possibly contain", but I'm not sure that this would be an accurate wording.--3knolls (talk) 20:18, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't any chance that it contains muscimol due to its phylogenetic placement, so I edited the text to remove the erroneous information.
