Pale yellow-capped mushroom
cf. Amanita Uncertain
Angles captured. Three frames from above and the side.
Morphology
Cap 5–7 cm, pale yellow to buff-yellow, smooth. Stipe pale and straight. The base is not shown.
Habitat & substrate
Sandy soil under pine, near the water.
Lookalikes & what rules them out
The photographer regards this as the same species as the yellow-capped mushroom with the white spore print recorded earlier on this walk, though a different fruitbody. If that holds, the white spore print and the sheathing base apply here too.
To confirm this identification
The stipe base. No print was taken from this fruitbody, so the identification rests on the resemblance rather than on evidence from this specimen.
Notes
Cross-referenced to the card 6 entry. Treat with the same caution — if it is that species, it is an Amanita.
