Bayoufrogg Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 First amanita ive spotted in Louisiana. What do you guys think? Amanita phalloides? Mixed hardwood/pine. Cap 2 inches. Partial veil. Yellowish-green tint to cap. 4.5 inches tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Interesting Amanita observation. Probably a good one to post onto MO. My impression is this is not Amanita phalloides. The grayish margin on the ring (annulus/partial veil) is not something I would expect with an Amanita species classified within section Phalloideae. I think this probably represents a species from section Validae. In particular, the Amanita lavendula group (formerly called by the European species name A. citrina) looks like a good bet here. There are a few different NA species in this group. Among possibly others are http://www.amanitaceae.org/?Amanita+lavendula and http://www.amanitaceae.org/?Amanita+cornelihybrida .
