Amanita aestivalis, commonly known as the white American star-footed amanita,[2] is a species of fungus in the mushroom family Amanitaceae. The cap of the white fruit body is 5 to 8.5 centimetres (2 to 3+1⁄4 inches) in diameter. It sits atop a stem that is 8.5 to 16 cm (3+1⁄4 to 6+1⁄4 in) long. The entire fruit body will slowly stain a reddish-brown color in response to bruising. A. aestivalis may be a synonym for A. brunnescens, and may be confused with several other white-bodied amanitas. The fungus is distributed in eastern North America.
