A species of sect. Lepidella, but not Amanita cokeri

The colored gills are a trip! I’ve not seen that before in the two taxa that I thought were most likely from the first shot (unsectioned). When I looke it over, I thought that A. rhopalopus and A. magniradix (which are rather similar morphologically) were possibilities. But the sordid yellow gills suggest something else. Too bad there’s no herbarium specimen.
Interesting photos.

I don’t understand the “sordid yellow” comment, on my monitor they are “buff” like a file folder. I offer that because photos are not always true to colors and shades, nor are monitors as faithful as we’d like. I’m sorry I don’t have either a sample nor a spore print, but feel that Amanita rhopalopus group is an appropriate identification.
