It has a pretty global distribution and it's in season now.

We're gonna see a lot more soon.

Don't the slight ridge lines around the cap also rule out amanita ? I only see a little and I'm newer to id so just wondering.

some Amanita sections will have inherent cap margin striations with prime fresh specimens, while some will not — https://www.reddit.com/r/amanita/s/8MFY0zIJVg — although the ones that don’t can have striations after some environmental weathering :)

destroying angels (which are within section Phalloideae) do not have cap margin striations with fresh prime mature specimens but can have them once weathered

OP’s mushroom, Leucocoprinus leucothites, does not have cap margin striations with fresh prime specimens. the striations we’re seeing with OP’s mushroom are the result of age and weathering :)

Off topic but I love that the first descriptor for Roanokenses is "messy" lol

Jokes aside, this is a great tool.
