Pine forest in soil

May have to study all recent Amanita observations of this color, possibly two fruiting now with a similar color...

Fresh specimen with no cap striations, margin covered with warts, large bulb base with concentric rings above it

Stem powdery with a shaggy appearance, uneven appearing margin due to the number of warts

Smelled lightly like a foot. Like a weak daucipes or section roanokenses -type smell. Strong yellow UV 365nm reaction on the gills and cap/bulb flesh. Large oaks nearby. bulb about 40-45mm x 22mm mostly cylindrical but tapering slowly. Stem about 55mm×13mm. Cap about 70mm wide. I thought it was growing alone but there is apparently another in the background of two photos that appears to be a little smaller

Location: Evergreen state college. Roundabout
Temp: 37 F
Located directly on the edge of the sidewalk on soil. Nearby are thuja plucata, tsuga hererophyla, and some evergreen huckleberry and sala plus oregon grape.
Mushroom has a beige colored cap. Convex and circular, free white gills, partial veil seems to be present but bugs have already been feasting off of the mushroom. Bulb is present and remained in the ground when trying to extract specimen. Cap is 3 1/2” wide. Specimen as a whole is roughly 5” with the bulb. Warts are also present on cap, easily slide off.
