Amanita virgineoides

Amanita virgineoides, known as the false virgin's lepidella, is a species of fungus in the genus Amanita.

Description
The basidiocarps are medium-sized to large. The cap is 7 – 15 cm wide, convex to applanate, sometimes concave, and white, covered with white, conical to pyramid volval remnants 1–3 mm high and wide. The cap margin is smooth and appendiculate, and the context is white and unchanging.

The gills are free to subfree and white to cream; the short gills are attenuate. The stipe is 10–20 cm × 1.5–3 cm, subcylindric or slightly attenuate upwards, white, covered with white floccose squamules; the context is white; the stipe's basal bulb is 3–4 cm wide, ventricose, ovoid to subglobose, with its upper part covered with white, verrucose to granular volval remnants. The annulus is white; its upper surface bears fine, radial striations; and its lower surface, verrucose to conical warts. The annulus is often broken during expansion of the cap.

The spores measure 8–10 × 6–7.5 μm and are broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid and amyloid. Clamps are common at bases of basidia.
