Amanita fulva
Today, A. fulva and similar ringless species of Amanita are placed in the section Vaginatae ss according to the classification of Bas.[3] The cap is orange-brown, paler towards the margin, and darker (even very dark brown) in the center, up to 10 centimetres (4 inches) in diameter.[5] The universal veil which initially encapsulates the fruiting body is torn and develops into a white, sack-like volva with characteristic rusty-brown blemishes.It is generally found with oak (Quercus), birch (Betula), spruce (Picea), pine (Pinus), chestnut (Castanea) and alder (Alnus), with which it forms mycorrhizae.[9][10] Amanita fulva is considered to be widely distributed in North America in deciduous and coniferous forests, although collections could possibly be of a different, yet undescribed species.
