Three Unidentified Australian Amanita Fungi

An all yellow Australian Amanita with thick gills and ring
Picture of a thick gilled Australian Amanita mushroomThick gilled apricot amanita
This large and solid yellow Amanita was found growing with Australian native grass in early autumn.

Picture
The Cap  is about 10 cm wide.   It is solid, dry,  smooth and warm pale yellow with darker  orange yellow appressed scales that disappear over time.  

Picture


The fungi Gills  are pale apricot yellow, very thick  and they protrude like teeth under the cap margins.


The thick and wide skirt-like ring  that is attached just below the cap,  is striate with mealy adhesions around  both the ring and cap margins.

Picture

The solid stem
is thick,  a pale apricot with darker scales and flares  down to remains of the  pale apricot volval sack.  Notice that the base pinches in under the sack remains.

This Amanita begins as a sphere atop the bulbous base.   The  pale apricot skin is smooth, dry and papery with only a few large papery patches  adhering to the surface.

Picture
This photo shows the shiny, papery surface of the mature cap  with appressed scales.  The cap has a 20 cm diameter and remains convex.

Picture
 Close-up, the scales can be seen to be made of very fine, matted threads.

Picture


The Gills  are the same pale apricot as the cap. They are smooth entire and crowded with interspaced short gills at the margins  and v shaped extensions onto the edges.

Picture
Gill attachment to the stem is very finely adnexed

Picture
Stem: Tall, solid, cylindrical, central, with a skirt-like  ring  attached about an inch below the gills.    The ring is   smooth, double layered, thin with ragged edges  and very faintly striate.

The appressed scales on the cap are tormentose, meaning that they  are composed of matted filaments  that become papery.
