Common names
Castellano: Amanita aspera
GUIDE FOR DETERMINATION
Apart from the yellowish color of the cap that allows it to be considered a variety of the Amanita aspera, this species is identical to it in all other features. The most obvious differential characteristic is the presence of a typical decoration on the ring that appears with its entire crenellated edge, almost festooned by yellowish scales. The cap in this variety goes from convex to flattened, it is yellowish in color, with a smooth surface, a little slimy in humid weather, on which there are attached warts that are not very large, generally higher towards the center and flattened on the periphery. somewhat diffuse and practically the same color as that one. The lamellae are narrow, white, with denticulate edges and are attached to the foot. The presence of lamelules should be highlighted. The white and yellowish-brown stem widens from top to bottom, ending in an elongated, turbinate bulb, without edges, with remains of a volva. The ring has serrations on the top and is crenellated on the edges. Below the ring the foot is decorated and above it is almost smooth. The flesh is quite compact, white and yellow under the cuticle of the cap. It has an unpleasant smell.
