Description
Eastern american floury amanita can be found during the late summer to fall in woodland areas. As hinted by its name, young mushrooms are covered in a flour-like powder that may wear off in older mushrooms. Other Amanitas can appear similar, but these mushrooms often have a ring of flesh around the stem and a cup-shaped structure at the base of the stem, which eastern american floury amanita lacks.

General Info
Toxicity
The eastern american floury amanita is reported to be a poisonous species, although its mechanism of toxicity requires further study. Many mushrooms of the Amanita genus contain lethal concentrations of deadly toxic compounds called amatoxins, which cause violent gastrointestinal upset, lowered blood pressure, accelerated pulse, and dehydration, leading to liver failure, kidney failure, and jaundice, and in the most extreme cases, death.
