Amanita viscidolutea has a yellow pileus of 4–6 centimetres (1 122 12 inches) in diameter, plane to depressed, with distinct striate white margin and yellowish-white patches of universal veil at center. Lamellae are free, yellowish-white, truncate to rounded-truncate. The stipe is 8–12 cm (3–4 12 in) tall and about 38 millimetres (1 12 in) wide, yellowish-white and exannulate, with bulb-shaped remnants of universal veil encircling stipe base. It has a pleasant aroma. Basidiospores are inamyloid.[2]
