Visually good type match with Amanita lepidella. Big problem with sizes. Limited Aust. species to check.
Thanks for that MiesMeister. I'll read about them now...
Hi! I think it is an Amanita member from the Lepidella section. This group of Amanita's contains the big, white types, lacking a volva, but having a bulbous and scally base. Look for more info at: http://pluto.njcc.com/~ret/amanita/sectl....
