GUIDE FOR DETERMINATION
It is the Amanita that together with the A. ovoidea can reach the largest dimensions among all the species of the genus.
The most evident differential features are the pyramidal scales of the cap, the residue of the veil, of fatty consistency on the margin of the cap, and the foot with its characteristic carrot-shaped ending.
The cap is whitish but soon becomes dirty with a gray-brown color and on the opaque surface there are scales, usually pyramidal in shape; When it opens it can become convex and carries membranous residues of the velum on the protruding margin.
The lamellae, first white then pale yellow, are very wide and quite tight, they are rounded at the foot and have interspersed lamelules.
The edge is frayed.
The foot is white, of a fatty consistency, and has a white membrane along its entire length.
It has a torn ring almost never regular.
At the base it acquires a particular shape, widened at first but then tapered to a point like a carrot.
This bulb is decorated by irregular rings, close to each other, or by fragments of the volva.
The meat is white, easy to alter without any particular odors until it ages when it gives off an unpleasant fishy smell.
WHERE AND WHEN IT CAN BE FOUND
This beautiful mushroom can grow from September to November in open forest areas, on the margins of forests, on grassy slopes, especially under beech trees, but also in the vicinity of other leaflets. It prefers calcareous soil and grows alone or in small groups. In some areas it is rare, in others it is quite common. Its growth is somewhat slow and by leaving it in the ground it is possible to observe the different phases of its development over several days.
EDIBLE CHARACTERISTICS
It can be considered a good edible mushroom with great yield due to its fleshy consistency.
However, great care must be taken not to confuse it with other poisonous white Amanitas.
DIMENSIONS
The hat can reach up to 25 cm. in diameter, while the foot sometimes exceeds that measurement. In any case, its size is always larger than that of any other Amanita.
VARIANTS OF THE SPECIES
The reproduction presents a specimen that is more regular in shape, lighter in color, with less marked differential characteristics such as the scalloped margin and the shape of the scales on the cap.
Rating: EDIBLE
Attention scalloped hat and carrot-shaped bulb.
