Unfortunately, I'm not the most skilled at Amanita identification! Have you tried the "Amanita of North America" group on Facebook?
What a beauty though! Posted 6 years ago
No, I haven't tried that site...but I will now that I know of it.
Yeah...I live in the Mountains if N. Georgia ( only 2 miles from the beginning of The Appalachian Trail ), so I began noticing the abundance of different Fungi all around me. Then...just on my own property !! This guy popped up virtually overnight just 4 feet from the little Lane bordering my driveway. I noticed a few cars slowing down...and finally someone yelled " Is that REAL ?? ". I was amazed at the size and beauty of this specimen. I was very lucky.
Again...thank you for the compliment and the website !!
