Comments 
Ms. Renée Lebeuf of Mycoquébec thinks it could be Amanita onusta. We have some reservations because all descriptions say that the stipe of this amanita is long radicant and the margin of the cap is non lined. Here the stipe is non-radicant and the margin is shortly streaked. This amanita was photographed twice in 2021, on 2021-07-18 and on 2021-10-14 in Lower Mauricie. These two sites are located at about 75 km away.
