Summary[edit]

Description

Amanita pachycolea D.E. Stuntz

Image location: Swisshome, Lane Co., Oregon, USA

Growing on a slope, in a thick forest of Western hemlock, maple, and the occasional Douglas fir. Quite a large and beautiful, pristine mushroom. I didn’t measure it exactly but probably a bit over 1 foot tall. The stem is rather thick and strong, which leads me to think it is A. pachycolea rather than A. vaginata. I would appreciate any feedback as I am curious to try eating some of the edible Amanitas eventually but I feel like I still need more experience. Other characters I used for id-ing: the obvious lines running inwards from the cap edge, deep sac-like volva (several inches), no obvious sign of a veil on the stem, but the mushroom is in such a pristine condition, it seems to me like you can see some remnants of a veil of sorts deep down near the bottom of the volva (see second photo). Anyone have a clue why the stem looks that way near the bottom?
