Notes: Found this growing under Beech. Further investigation revealed that this fungi was coming from a living root of the beach tree it was growing under. The third pic shows the living root and if you look close you will see the white Mycellum coating the root.. The fungi was resting directly on the root. The spore print is a deep flesh colored so that separates it from Amanita.
