BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The following is based on description by Jenkins (1978a).

The cap of A. frostiana var. pallidipes is approximately 25 - 40 mm wide, whitish to pale yellow, convex to plane, with a faintly striate margin. The volval remnants are floccose patches or flattened warts.

The gills are free, crowded. The short gills are truncate.

The stem is approximated 35 - 60 x 3 - 6 mm, tapering slightly upward, white. The bulb is ovoid. The ring was fragmentary in the type collection and 15 - 20 mm from the top of the stem. The volva is present on the bulb as a slight free margin.

According to Jenkins' type study, the spores measure (7.3-) 7.9 - 10.2 x (5.8-) 6.3 - 7.9 (-8.4) µm and are broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid, occasionally subglobose and inamyloid. Clamps are rare at bases of basidia.

This species was originally described from Long Island, New York State. The name is out of use. The only reference in which it is possible to compare the present taxon to other species' descriptions in which all the description were prepared by the same author is the source for the above description (Jenkins 1978). The information is duplicated in Jenkins' thesis (1977). Utilizing this source, comparisons of the present taxon to Amanita multisquamosa Peck and Amanita glabriceps Peck (taxonomic synonyms) indicate striking resemblance. Therefore it should be considered a possibility that Amanita frostiana var. pallidipes is a taxonomic synonym of A. multisquamosa.
