Amanita?

Any ideas?





It's not in the best of shape:

flesh white, gills are free, and were salmon but have discoloured to light purple, ring fragile, white, smooth, stem brown at base to white at top, cap off-white with shaggy markings

Agaricus sp. - and that's me you hear closing the door

Hello,

Amanitas have pure white gills even in maturity - Agaricus gills change from whitish when very young via rose to brwon. So no one ever should mix the poisonous Amanitas with the edible Agaricus.

Which species you have there, I don't know. It seems, that the flesh doesn't change reddish when bruised. So may be it is A. vaporarius or something in this relationship. But it is quite slender what wouldn't suite too well for this one ....

best regards,
Andreas
