which is a little grayer, I do agree that it is redder then normal for V3.

I’ll collect some and dry it…

The cap seems too reddish for V3. Amanita sp. V3 is the most common of the taxa that have been called “A. ceciliae” in the eastern US. It is normally a somewhat grayish brown, with color saturation varying. Still in Texas.

it’s the 43 species listed, Amanita V3. (I will probably always call it V3)

my collection has a light colored stipe, don’t know what that means… Rod will have to review it and let us know. (I also like how he came up with the name borealisorora)

it’s obviously a member of the vaginate amanitas…what characters make it a borealisora?
