Caps: 6-18cm wide. Flat topped at maturity, covered in flocked reddish brown fibrils. Staining blue/green.
Stem: Somewhat purple toned in young specimens, mature specimens yellow with reddish striations(stains blue/green). See images.
Mycelium:stains blue(see images).
Taste: bitter.
Spore Printed a cap for microscopy.
Spore print: rusty orange brown.
Temp: has been upper 60’s/70’s last few weeks. No low temps caused bluing reactions in specimens.
Spores: ellipsoid but Irregular/angular on side laying individuals.
Harvested/dried multiple specimens for herbarium collection. Multiple images in thumbnail bar of aging process and deep blue/green staining of all specimens. https://mushroomobserver.org/438272?q=1Wiet
UPDATE: Mailed dried/bagged/labeled specimens from this collection to 2 separate interested mycologists on 11/5/2020 for accession into their herbariums and sequencing.

Samples from my herbarium sent to Dr. Rod Tulloss for sequencing on 12/3/18 upon his request.
A Very interesting collection. Looked very similar to Amanita augusta, only lacking the yellow cast to veil and stem. Very thick, large, meaty specimens-largest fruiting body was well over 12cm across for cap. Cap patches are dark grey and adhered to cap more so than A. pantherina or A. gemmata. Umber central disc to mature fruiting bodies. Young specimens were deep yellow with an olive cast throughout caps. Volva=double collared. Fruiting directly beneath young Western red cedar and mature Douglas firs. Added images for canopy type. Harvested 3 fruiting bodies for home herbarium. Available for further study/analysis/sequencing.
12/3/18-Sending out vouchering samples to RET on 12/3/18. Retaining remainder of collection in home herbarium storage. See attached link to MO for herbarium info and notes/correspondence with Dr. Tulloss. https://mushroomobserver.org/348262?q=bIMK

Under Fagus sylvicola. Likely the European species because the volva is white and host tree is European.
