This species is rather similar to the widespread Amanita pantherina, with a brown cap covered with whitish remnants of the universal veil, but is generally smaller (cap diameter up to 6 cm, stem length up to 9 cm) and more fragile than that species with much more prominent striations around the margin of the cap.
