The gills are free and white; the short gills are truncate.

The stipe 50 - 100 × 5 - 10 mm, subcylindrical or slightly attenuate upwards, with a surface that is cream above the annulus and cream to yellowish below it.

The editors of this site owe a great debt to Dr. Cornelis Bas whose famous cigar box files of Amanita nomenclatural information gathered over three or more decades were made available to RET for computerization and make up the lion's share of the nomenclatural information presented on this site.
