  • intro As usual, we are adding data to the techtab first as information is acquired.  This species is another of the group of "ringed ringless amanitas" that are presently being discovered in the southeastern U.S.
    odor/taste Neither odor nor taste has yet been recorded.
    discussion At first, from above, this mushroom seems to be rather like Amanita texasorora—because of the fragmenting, graying volval patches left on the cap.  However, the present species has a weakly structured, white ring on the stem.  This structure can, at least sometimes, break up so that its lower part falls away and slides down the stem until it catches on the stem's surface.

    This species has been called A. sp-MO07 and A. pseudoinsinuans on this site.

    This species was also collected in Missouri under ?? and then in Louisiana where it has been found with Wateroak (Quercus nigra).  It's range has been extended to the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River regions of Maryland by a group of collections made under Pin Oak (Q. palustris).—R. E. Tulloss, S. D. Russell, L. Wiedenfeld, and R. Warner
