the kind of orange you see when the scarlet cap of a Death’s Head mushroom has just begun to go off.
Do you mean Death Cap, because those are demonstrably not even slightly scarlet. Or do you mean fly agaric, which is not actually particularly deadly, although it will make you feel rotten and hallucinate? Or Russula emetica, which is very red/orange but also not deadly so much as, well, an emetic? Lacterius deliciosus is also quite orange, but also quite edible.
(I can be a know-it-all prat, too.)
