You obviously know it is deadly - I'll take a stab at Amanita bisporigera, but conditional. Where abouts in the world are you?

Never seen A. bisporigera with a tawny colored cap. They're solid white.

Happy to admit I'm wrong - I'm in another part of the world and don't see them at all. We only get Amanita phalloides here (as far as the deadly Amanitas go), but I was looking at Nth American possibilities. Guess work.

Looks like an amanita brunnescens to me, but I'm not a TI. Does it bruise brownish? In any case I'd wait for one of them for a sure answer.

When you lose your greatest love you also lose your greatest fear, when that happens you are completely and utterly free.

Sorry, after re-reading my post I realize I may have come off as a dick. That was not my intention.

Hm, its missing the raised center cap thing. Not sure of that. Hell, it might not even be an Amanita.

Here's a couple pictures of some others that were growing in the same spot:


Sorry for the lack of information. I got kind of busy this weekend. But I'm in Upstate NY and these are growing nearby a large conifer. Not sure exactly what kind. Looks like a really large spruce.
A few years back I had one from maybe 15 feet away identified as A. multisquamosa. I was just curious if these could be the same.
There's one I've seen that seems very similar to A. bisporigera with a brown spot in the center of the cap. So I can understand thinking it could be something like that. But these all had patches. A couple had very few but I think the rain washed them off.

Next time you need an ID on an Amanita be sure to dig up the volva at the base of the stem...It's a pretty important identifying feature.
That said, these certainly look like they could be Amanita multisquamosa, I dunno for sure. A shot of the volva would help. Beautiful though, as so many amanitas are.

Thanks for your help, amilibertine. The volva is shown in the first picture I posted but I agree that a close up of the base probably would have been more helpful.
Thanks also to Alan for the link. Very much appreciated!
