Amanita silvicola
[6] The cap is initially rounded, covered in a "wooly"[3] outer veil that later leaves soft patchy remnants across its surface as it flattens.[9] Younger fruiting bodies (mushrooms) are covered by a fluffy continuous universal veil, which breaks up irregularly across its slightly sticky surface into soft powdery patches instead of firm warts.[18] Amanita silvicola is found in the Pacific northwest of North America, California, and more rarely in the Sierra Nevada mountains.The IUCN Red List has assessed it as Least Concern (LC), as the population is stable and "locally common" in the Pacific northwest and California.[2] A. silvicola is a terrestrial species, it can be found as a solitary mushroom or in small groups in coniferous woods, especially under Western Hemlock.
