The base of the stalk is somewhat inflated and there will typically be remnants of the volva on the stalk (Bessette et al. 2018, Field Guide to Mushrooms of the Carolinas). This species is known to be poisonous.
The distribution in Maryland is uncertain. In the Carolinas it is reported to be common on the Coastal Plain and Piedmont (Bessette et al. 2018).
