Author's notes

Beautiful large pair of toadstools with white gills, one with a 'Major Mitchell' coloured streak in it. On the slope with grass and clay.

You have clearly captured the distinguishing characteristics that help identify this fungus. The pink tinge to the gills is a distinctive characteristic of this species. Then the ring (annulus) below the gills and the cup (volva) at the base of the stipe and the striation at the edge of the cap. Well done! One of my favourite Amanita species.
