Description

Metallic white caps, growing from volva. However, light striations on cap, hollow stem with cottony fillings, giving similar “white Caesarea” impression like I found on Mount Lemmon a few weeks ago. Looks like a death cap, but again maybe more bleached Caesar’s?

In this area: ponderosa pine, oaks, sycamore
