Description
The elongated cap of the pine cone Amanita (Amanita magniverrucata) is smothered in a warty surface, with the peaks of those warts appearing darker in color. It has a very pungent odor, and although it is not toxic, this makes it quite unpalatable. The tell-tale fragrance is not present during all growth stages, so this should not be relied upon alone for identification.

Habitat
The pine cone Amanita can be found in forests and it's mostly associated with pines such as bishop pine (Pinus muricata) and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata), and occasionally also with coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia).. The mushrooms grow in the duff beneath a host tree; below the ground the fungus is busy exchanging essential nutrients with the tree's roots.
