Amanita subpallidorosea
Measuring 3 to 6.5 centimetres (1+1⁄4 to 2+1⁄2 inches) in diameter, the cap is white initially, before developing a pale pink, more prominently in the centre and paler at the margins.[1] It can be distinguished from Amanita pallidorosea as the latter's cap has a pronounced boss and its spores are smaller when viewed under a microscope.[2] A. subpallidorosea is found under oaks of the genera Quercus and Cyclobalanopsis in Guizhou province as well as Taiwan.[1] Two people died in 2014 after eating mushrooms picked near Zunyi in Guizhou province in southwestern China; investigations led to the description of Amanita subpallidorosea in 2015.[2] Molecular analysis found it to be closely related to the destroying angel species A. virosa and A.
