Amanita augusta, commonly known as the western yellow-veil [1] or western yellow-veiled amanita, [2] is a small tannish-brown mushroom with cap colors bright yellow to dark brown and various combinations of the two colors. The mushroom is often recognizable by the fragmented yellow remnants of the universal veil. [3]
The species produces mushrooms with pinkish-cinnamon caps measuring 3–11 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) wide held by pinkish-white stems 2–6 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long and 0.7–2 cm (1 ⁄ 4 – 3 ⁄ 4 in) wide.

Among the canthin-6-one derivatives are the pigments that give the mushroom its bright yellow color, including two optically active sulfoxides named curtisin and 9-deoxycurtisin. [19] Spraying a fruit body with methanol causes the pigments to dissolve and makes the color wash away—a phenomenon unknown in other bolete mushrooms. [8]
