About Amanita aprica J.Lindgr. & Tulloss
Amanita aprica, commonly called the sunshine amanita, is a toxic fungus species belonging to the Amanitaceae family. Its cap ranges in color from yellow to orange, and bears warty remnants of the whitish universal veil. Both the gills and stipe are pale; the stipe is often wider at its base. A skirt-like partial veil ring may be visible on the mushroom, especially on younger individuals. This species was formally described as new to science in 2005. It is native to the Pacific Northwest region of North America, where it grows in mycorrhizal association with Douglas-fir and pine trees.
