This species is closely related to Amanita phalloides Fr.

pileus with the margin often striate, its longer slender stem with 
a webby pith and a more narrow bulb margined by the remains 
of the more definitely circumscissile volva. Amanita phal- 
lordes striatila Pk -[N. oState Mus Bul-54p. O6hM ise
