It has a general aspect somewhat between Macrolepiota and Armillaria, but it is characterized by a pure white colour overall (whilst those genera are brownish) and by the squamous (scaly) covering of cap and stipe.(Translated from Spanish to English)Amanita vittadinii(Moretti)at www.amanitacesarea.com (by José Cuesta and Jorge Jiménez).
