Amanita minutula is a small to medium-sized mushroom with a cap that ranges from 1-4 cm in diameter, typically conical to bell-shaped, and often has a distinctive umbo. The cap is usually reddish-brown to brown with a powdery coating, and the gills are free from the stem. The stem is slender, 2-6 cm tall, and has a bulbous base. In East and Central Texas, Amanita minutula typically fruits in the fall, often in association with oak and pine trees, and can be found in a variety of habitats, including wooded areas and grasslands. It is considered a rare species in the region, but has been reported in several counties, including Brazos, Grimes, and Travis.
