Amanita eliae is an inedible[1] species of fungi in the family of Amanitaceae found in Europe. It was described by Lucien Quélet in 1872.[2] Synonyms include A. eliae, A. godeyi, and A. cordae.
Its cap is 8 to 10 centimetres (3 to 4 inches)[3] or 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in)[dubious ] in diameter[4] and 6 to 10 cm (2+1⁄2 to 4 in) across. It has a white volva.[1] Its warts correspond to easily removable, deep depressions in the cap of the species.[3] Its stem is around 8 to 12 cm (3 to 4+1⁄2 in) tall and has a diameter of 0.8 to 1.2 cm (1⁄2 to 1⁄2 in);[1] it is subcylindric and tapers upwards. The cap and stem have white flesh.[1][5] The stem is initially entirely white, but browns with age with a narrow bulb.[6] The stem ring is white.[1] Its stem is smooth and has white gills on the hymenium.[4] Its odour and taste are indistinct.[1][4]
It is commonly found in Europe in the summer and autumn near coniferous and deciduous trees.[3][4]
