"Gray, striated, NO ring. Some Europeans eat this. Most Amanita hunters say the risk isn't worth it."
This species is found with or partners with the following hosts. Ectomycorrhizal hosts (green border) form a root-level partnership; ericoid / arbutoid shrubs (purple border) share the same mycorrhizal networks.

Mixed conifer and hardwood forest — widespread habitat for generalist ECM mushrooms.
Slender gray-brown Amanita with a striate (grooved) cap edge, NO ring on the stem, and a conspicuous sack at the base. Edible when well-cooked, but dangerous due to family confusion with deadly Amanitas.
