BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The following description is based on the original description by A. V. Sathe & S. D. Deshp. (1980).

The cap of Amanita albofloccosa is up to 35 - 40 mm wide in dried material, pale yellow, yellow-brown with age, hemispheric to plano-convex, fleshy, with an appendiculate and entire, incurved margin. The surface of the cap breaks into scales as it expands; the scales are cinnamon colored and rub off with age.

The gills are free, crowded, pale cream, umber on drying, fleshy, 4 mm broad in dried material, narrowing to nearly a point at both ends, with an entire or slightly jagged margin. Short gills are present.

The stem is 120 - 168 × 4 - 5 mm, cylindric, concolorous with the cap, with a bulbous base.  The ring in young material is placed high on the stem, membranous, white, becoming orange, and disintegrating into a floccose zones on the stem in age. The volva is present as floccose scales.

The odor is strongly nauseating like that of calcium oxychloride.

The spores measure 7.3 - 9.6 × 6.4 - 7.7 µm and are globose to subglobose and amyloid.  Clamps are absent at bases of basidia.

This species is known only from a single specimen found on the Poona University campus, Maharashtra state, India.  It occurred with Chlorophyllum molybdites and the authors list nearby one woody plant, Dalbergia melanoxylon (Leguminosae), an African import to India.  No indication of ectomycorrhizal relations of Dalbergia were found during an internet search.

Because of the absence of clamps the authors compare this species to Amanita aureofloccosa Bas which would place it in stirps Thiersii.  The authors' description of the present species' looking "like [a] drumstick until the cap expands" could be said of a number of other species in stirps Thiersii.
