This was collected by Krista W.
Under spruce.
This is the only picture we have, and we are looking at the white Amanita.
The ring and volva weren't clearly present but didn't look like A. muscaria. (Perhaps it got damaged). The stipe somewhat tapering, but not root was visible, but it was uprooted when she found it; so, we don't know.
Spores (8.0-12.0) x (6.0-8.0), elliptic Q=1.37.

Stout and thick white mushroom found in pine litter/soil substrate in an island of an urban parking lot. Trees on island coniferous. First discovered a while ago in egg forms, covered with debris and continually returned to reach maturity. Only discovered in one area of one of the lot islands, growing in one patch of spaced individuals, all out of egg forms. One individual finally mature enough to observe, but may still be not fully developed. Likelihood of damage led me to pick this one now. Only around 6 inches tall but very thick and heavy. Stem is white and breaks in chips, strong white annulus present right under cap. Top of cap is white, just under 5 inches across, and scaled slightly grey/light tan, currently convex with peculiar concave geometry present in some areas, similar to Amanita muscaria cap geometry. Same light tan coloration near base. Stem is about an inch in diameter and very bulbous at bottom, with more tanned scales near base. Stem isn’t hollow. Gills are also white, cannot tell state of attachment to stalk. Smells slightly funky.

Cespitose under cedar. Striated orange yellow cap (6cm). Volva at bulbous base (3cm) stipe tapers to 1cm. Gills adnexed to almost free and crowded. Ring remnants present. Stains blue green on stem with ferrous sulfate, stains yellow on stem and cap with KOH, no rxn with ammonium.

Amanita pacificogemmata nom prov.
Two fruiting bodies beneath Douglas fir and big leaf maple.
Cap: dull yellow with soft flat universal veil material. Not angular warts.
Stem: non limbate volva. Bulb pointed base. Soft veil tissue adhering to top of bulb.
Harvested a single specimen and dehydrated for herbarium collection.

Small stature, kind of felty cap, ellipsoid spores all lead me to believe these are psilocybe caerulipes samples have been sent for DNA to Alan Rockefeller and Stephen Russell
