Figure 12. Amanita phalloides. Fr. White form showing volva, scaly stem, ring. 



This plant is quite conspicuous and inviting in all of its various shades of 

 color. It is found in woods, and along the margin of woods, and sometimes on 

 lawns. It is from four to eight inches high and the pileus from three to five 

 inches broad. There is a personality about the plant that renders it readily 

 recognizable after it has once been learned. Found from August to October.
