Amanita polypyramis is a species of Amanita found in Eastern United States. Though listed in some sources as ranging from New Jersey, to Costa Rica in Central America, the species has been found as far north as New England, concentrated largely in Cape Cod.[1][2]
It is a large, bone white mushroom with a chlorine like odor. Its species name, polypyramis, refers to the pyramid-like warts on the surface of the pileus.[3]
