A whitish, warted grassland Amanita of the Great Plains and arid West that decomposes senescent grass roots rather than partnering with trees. It is often found far from any tree, in grasslands, cultivated fields and deserts. It may contain several cryptic species.
Edibility unknown; do not eat. No reliable edibility information was found, and related saprotrophic lepidellas are suspected to be poisonous. As a white-spored, ringed Amanita relative it should be treated as potentially dangerous.
