Woodland Amanita
A pure white, relatively short-stemmed Amanita of wet Pacific Northwest conifer forests, especially under western hemlock. Its cap is covered with a fluffy veil that breaks into soft powdery patches rather than firm warts, and its stem ends in a squarely cut-off (truncate) bulb. It is likely toxic and closely resembles the poisonous A. smithiana.
Likely toxic; do not eat. It closely resembles Amanita smithiana, which shares its range and causes delayed kidney damage (A. smithiana has larger spores, clamp connections and an unpleasant odor). It must also be separated from the deadly western destroying angel, A. ocreata (amatoxins), which has creamy to pinkish tones on the cap center and a well-developed sack-like volva with a free margin.
