Field Notes
Description:
Amanita with a light brown cap that was covered in beige warts. Cap and stipe bruised pink. The stipe was slightly shaggy with an enlarged base. Gills were cream colored and covered by a membrane.
Habitat:
Growing on the ground in a deciduous forest.
Notes:
It's thought that there are probably several unnamed eastern North American species that are being referred to as Amanita rubescens. So, the exact species of this mushroom is unknown, but it is in the Amanita rubescens group. Amanita expert Rod Tulloss has documented several eastern North American versions of Amanita rubescens, which now temporarily share the provisional name of "Amanita amerirubescens."
