Eastern American Blusher

Amanita amerirubescens

Cap: Grows up to 120 mm wide. Color varies from pale yellowish-tan or pale tannish-yellow at first, but eventually turn brown or umbrinous. Wounds are reddish-brown. The cap is tacky and broadly conic at first, then finally planar in maturity. Remnants of volva are present as warts, which are subpyramidal and easily removed.

Habitat: Growing on the ground in a mixed forest, but in an area dominated by oak. The exact species of this mushroom is unknown, but it is in the Amanita amerirubescens group.
