"This mushroom is a white, stocky variety of the well known "blushing" species, Amanita rubescens. It is found in eastern North America, often growing alongside the typical variety--but one does not find "intergrading" forms, which suggests that the two taxa are indeed distinct at some level (Michael Kuo)."
