Field Notes

Description:

North American versions have brown caps that are covered with white warts, as well as a collar-like roll of veil tissue at the top of the stem's basal bulb, and ellipsoid, inamyloid spores. The western North American version is associated primarily with conifers, and has a variable cap that ranges from dark brown to pale tan or nearly yellowish (creating confusion with Amanita gemmata).

Habitat:

Mycorrhizal with conifers--especially pines like bishop pine and Monterey pine, but also with Douglas-fir, spruces, and (occasionally) with hardwoods; growing alone, scattered, or gregariously; fall and winter; along the West Coast from California to the Pacific Northwest, and reported from the southwestern Rocky Mountains.
