Comments: Amanita hemibapha var. ochracea, belongs to the Amanita caesarea group by their macroscopic features and is known as "chicken egg". This name was given because in the early stages of development it is egg shaped and is covered by a white membrane which is also true for local name “Gongsay”, but shows part of the colour of the cap. It differs from A. hemibapha red by the yellow ochre of the fruiting body.
