Amanita Series Mappae (Complex Mappae)Observer
jnewton728Description
Amanita's growing in soil in primarily hardwood forest in Lee County, Alabama, USA. Very pale creamy yellow-green cap with beige areas of veil remnants. White gills of which some attach to stipe. White stipe with a white skirt with yellow underside, turning grey with time. White volva and mycelium. Stipe and volva gradually bruised brown. Mild chemical odor, similar to raw potatoes. Mild taste. Photos were taken in dim light as sun was going down, so colors are a little off. Nearby trees: primarily oak, hickory, maple, and beech with a few pines.
