[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Two days after the first shot of this Panther cap (Amanita pantherina). Thanks to extramundi's comment I've tried to bring a bit more light to this shot but the background still needs some more ligth. Maybee a reflector or a second flash.

A. pantherina has a Cap that is 4-15 cm (2-6") in diameter, round, becoming convex to flat or slightly sunken. Its color ranges from dark to light brown, tan to dull yellowish. Often dark in the center, lightening towards to outside, and cap edges may be blackish, sooty, or yellowish-brown. Surface is tacky when wet. Its white universal veil which entirely covers the youngest mushrooms, will form white to pale buff spots or warts on mature mushrooms, and may eventually wash or wear off with age. These spots often form concentric circles, although they may also appear random. One of the most common causes of mushroom poisoning in the Pacific Northwest (from Erowid Psychoactive Amanitas Vault : Amanita pantherina (Panther)).

Hola Jean,
Buenos detalles y nitidez de la especie que presentas, por las características que se observan no se trata de la Amanita pantherina. Por las placas del sombrero y el anillo sobre el pié se corresponde mas con la A. Spissa ó incluso una A. rubescens pero no una pantherina. Aquí puedes ver sus diferencias con la A. Rubescens
HERE. Saludos
José Ramón
