Amanita brunnescens Growing under balsam fir but white spruce and black spruce nearby. It looks like Amanita pantherina but this species is known from Europe and some parts of northwestern North America and not from the Upper Midwest in the US.

The Brown star-footed Amanita

"Amanita brunnescens" is a native North American mushroom of the large genus "Amanita". Originally presumed to be the highly toxic "Amanita phalloides" by renowned American mycologist Charles Horton Peck, it was described and named by George F. Atkinson of Cornell University. He named it after the fact that it bruised brown.
