BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The cap of A. veldiei is 40 - 60 mm wide, shallowly convex to planar, white, shiny, with an appendiculate margin and with a sterile extension beyond the end of the gills.  Thick, whitish warts are present, thicker and more conspicuous towards the center passing into cob-webby fibrils towards the margin.

The gills are dirty cream and very narrow at both ends.

The stem is 125 - 130 × 6 - 11 mm (width measured at top of stem), narrowing slightly upward, white, smooth above a well-formed ring, below the ring is covered with white floccose-fibrillose warts, most prominent towards the base.  The top of the bulb is covered with white, fibrillose volval remnants.  The bulb is up to 22 mm wide, spindle-shaped, and somewhat rooting.  The ring is in the upper part of the stem, membranous, skirt-like, and persistent.

The spores measure 12 - 15 × 7 - 8 µm and are amyloid and elongate.  Clamps are absent at bases of basidia.

Amanita veldiei was originally described from South Africa.  Unfortunately, the name is invalid as published, due to uncertainty as to which of two herbaria named in the paper is the location of the holotype. We have not been able to discover if the omission has been corrected.
