      They totally surprised me! I was expecting A. jacksonii, but the sac volva was gone--so I had to scratch that immediately! Posted 7 years ago

The False Caesar's Mushroom

''Amanita parcivolvata'' is a fungus that produces fruit bodies that vaguely resemble those of ''Amanita muscaria''. It is differentiated, however, by its lack of an annulus, by the volval deposits on its stipe/base, and by its pileal striations.
