Under spruce.
This is the only picture we have, and we are looking at the white Amanita.
The ring and volva weren't clearly present but didn't look like A. muscaria. (Perhaps it got damaged). The stipe somewhat tapering, but not root was visible, but it was uprooted when she found it; so, we don't know.
Spores (8.0-12.0) x (6.0-8.0), elliptic Q=1.37.
Stout and thick white mushroom found in pine litter/soil substrate in an island of an urban parking lot. Trees on island coniferous. First discovered a while ago in egg forms, covered with debris and continually returned to reach maturity. Only discovered in one area of one of the lot islands, growing in one patch of spaced individuals, all out of egg forms. One individual finally mature enough to observe, but may still be not fully developed. Likelihood of damage led me to pick this one now. Only around 6 inches tall but very thick and heavy. Stem is white and breaks in chips, strong white annulus present right under cap. Top of cap is white, just under 5 inches across, and scaled slightly grey/light tan, currently convex with peculiar concave geometry present in some areas, similar to Amanita muscaria cap geometry. Same light tan coloration near base. Stem is about an inch in diameter and very bulbous at bottom, with more tanned scales near base. Stem isn’t hollow. Gills are also white, cannot tell state of attachment to stalk. Smells slightly funky.
Group. In riparian area in natural stand of Betula occidentalis and Salix (no other mycorrhizal trees around)
Growing under Quercus agrifolia; pointy, rooting stipe; the mushroom is about 5"-6" tall, and the cap is about the size of my hand; no detectable odor; cap margin sulcate
Fox squirrel caught in the act eating Amanita muscaria buttons. Previously noted squirrel teeth sign on A. muscaria here. Pleasantly surprised to catch this little man red handed.
I assume someone took a cap off the ground and let it rot on top of this branch covered in lichen?
Fruiting with Amanita muscaria var flavivolvata between Western hemlock and Douglas fir(in grass). Adding two images of distant, in situ context for scale and relative distance of fruiting bodies from one another. Reportedly parasitic on A. muscaria mycelium.
red staining (picture 13), found right next to Amanita muscaria subsp. flavivolvata (last picture)

Young and Very large/robust specimen fruiting beneath Douglas fir.
Cap: Honey yellow, brown toward disc. 8cm across.
Warts: gray pyramidal, large/blocky.
Cuticle is Dry(not viscid or tacky).
Stem: very thick, meaty. Very wide in relation to cap. Smoothly ovoid in profile.
Volva: double collared, both collars flaring upward/outward(like stacked Russian dolls).
Context: faintly yellow near central cylinder/interior.
Harvested specimen.
Dehydrated 1/2 specimen and additional section of cap for herbarium collection/genetic record.
Cap cuticle tissue dehydrating deep honey yellow/brown and nearly black at disc.

Cespitose under cedar. Striated orange yellow cap (6cm). Volva at bulbous base (3cm) stipe tapers to 1cm. Gills adnexed to almost free and crowded. Ring remnants present. Stains blue green on stem with ferrous sulfate, stains yellow on stem and cap with KOH, no rxn with ammonium.
Amanita pacificogemmata nom prov.
Two fruiting bodies beneath Douglas fir and big leaf maple.
Cap: dull yellow with soft flat universal veil material. Not angular warts.
Stem: non limbate volva. Bulb pointed base. Soft veil tissue adhering to top of bulb.
Harvested a single specimen and dehydrated for herbarium collection.

Samples from my herbarium sent to Dr. Rod Tulloss for sequencing on 12/3/18 upon his request.
A Very interesting collection. Looked very similar to Amanita augusta, only lacking the yellow cast to veil and stem. Very thick, large, meaty specimens-largest fruiting body was well over 12cm across for cap. Cap patches are dark grey and adhered to cap more so than A. pantherina or A. gemmata. Umber central disc to mature fruiting bodies. Young specimens were deep yellow with an olive cast throughout caps. Volva=double collared. Fruiting directly beneath young Western red cedar and mature Douglas firs. Added images for canopy type. Harvested 3 fruiting bodies for home herbarium. Available for further study/analysis/sequencing.
12/3/18-Sending out vouchering samples to RET on 12/3/18. Retaining remainder of collection in home herbarium storage. See attached link to MO for herbarium info and notes/correspondence with Dr. Tulloss. https://mushroomobserver.org/348262?q=bIMK
