Small white Amanita with saccate volva, cap silky, non-striate, apical partial veil, stipe white with white chevon pattern. Largest about 6.5 cm. Have found these before and they don’t seem to get much larger. Rather resemble very small version of A. bisporigera.

Umbonate yellow-bronze cap, darker brown at the center, striate margin, close yellow gills and yellow partial veil on the yellow stipe, whitish saccate volva with yellow tints, esp. on the inner volva. Largest 13 cm tall with 10 cm cap width. This could also be Amanita banningiana but not listed on iNat as it is an unpublished provisional name.

New one to me
Genus per iNat
Approx 2” long

6//11 obtained specimen see last two photos
Oozes black liquid when bruised,
No scent

• added additional bark pics. See blackened areas.

6/11 able to collect the specimen in one piece. Shows rolled areas around the edges where attached to log. Powdery brown deposits on fungus top. Spores?

White, sort of translucent appearing cap with central depression (umbilicate), pink subdistant to distant gills, stipe 4 to 5 cm, seems to be bruising yellow! Can this be? Will continue to watch & observe. By next morning the mushrooms were rather limp but still showing yellow bruises. Bruising the smaller one elicited fresh yellowing. At first I thought the yellow might be from other mushrooms in basket but rubbing brought forth fresh yellowing even a day later. So many Entolomas, not so many in the literature. Further research needed. Possibilities so far: Alboleptonia sericella, aka Entoloma sericellum, A. adnatifolia, that may be a western species, A. ochracea that bruises ochraceous but maybe deprecated,not on iNat. E. subochraceous exists but seems strictly western. All of these are now mostly in Entoloma. Any thoughts what it might be?
