GUIDE FOR DETERMINATION
This Amanita is also considered a form of the Amanita muscaria, to which it is very close due to the color of the cap and the other parts in general. It is recognized by the almost permanent absence of scales on the cap, it has a more orange color and a different type of volva, collared, it is not formed by small separate pearls, but by two or more cylinders that surround the foot in the section that follows to the base bulb. This end is round, without attenuations and of smaller dimensions. The cap varies from hemispherical in shape, as in reproduction, to open and flattened. It is red-orange in color, smooth and shiny on the surface. The lamellae are whitish, wide and rounded on the foot like the Amanita muscaria. The foot is generally more slender than that of its similar species and has, in addition to the volva already described, a fairly consistent and attractive ring, although it does not protrude as much as the one that can appear on an Amanita muscaria. It is white, compact, although it quickly becomes hollow. The meat is white with no particular smells or flavors. However, below the cuticle of the cap it presents, for a certain thickness, a diffuse orange color.
Rating: POISONOUS
Attention: the hat is without scales and the back is collared.
WHERE AND WHEN IT CAN BE FOUND
It is a rarer species than the Amanita muscaria. However, it grows during the same season and seems to prefer coniferous forests.
TYPE OF POISONING
It produces poisoning similar to that caused by Amanita muscaria, that is, with harmful effects on the nervous system. It is more dangerous because its orange color can make it confused with the Oronja or Amanita de los Caesares, an edible species.
DIMENSIONS
It is smaller in size than its similar one. It usually has a hat with a diameter proportionally smaller in relation to the length of the foot.
CAN BE CONFUSED WITH
The Caesar Amanita, which is differentiated by having another type of volva, continuous and enveloping on the edges, the lamellae, foot and internal ring the color of egg yolk. These characteristics are clearly evident in the specimens reproduced here.
