Amanita Muscaria in Sierra Nevadas

Okay, I'm aware that there is a rule about asking what mushrooms grow in your area, but I'm not sure the provided list includes amanitas.
I live in Reno and I'm pretty sure that they would grow in the forest by Lake Tahoe but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure what time of year to search? It is so dry all year that I don't think they have a chance to grow other than when the snow melts in spring. Will they fruit in the spring or is it a waste of time to look?

Amanita muscaria doesn't show up until august and the season goes until it snows. In the spring you will find Amanita aprica instead of muscaria. Even if there is no rain you can generally find mushrooms around he edges of meadows.

Unfortunately there usually isn't rain before it snows, so the ground only absorbs the moisture in spring. But I've heard of Muscarias in this forest, just don't know when to look.

Yeah you probably won't find too much in reno but it never hurts to look in the fall or spring near the closest forest. you'll have to hunt up around the high country and around any high elevation meadow surrounded by forest. I find quite a bit especially during the months of september and october, always associating lodgepole pines. I hunt around the tahoe basin during the late spring, summer and early fall and you can find a number of good edible species like king boletes if you know where to look.

I have seen them in December in the lower elevations, doubt that will happen this year though.

I actually thought you were talking from Spain, Sierra Nevada...
