discussion |
This species was originally thought to be part of
Amanita
sp-NFL10. However the material
originally
assigned to the temporary code name
proved to contain elements that were genetically
distinct. The first molecular work on the Canadian material of this taxon was done by participants in the Agaricales Diversification Project. | ||||||||||||

Each spore data set is intended to comprise a set of measurements from a single specimen made by a single observer; and explanations prepared for this site talk about specimen-observer pairs associated with each data set. Combining more data into a single data set is non-optimal because it obscures observer differences (which may be valuable for instructional purposes, for example) and may obscure instances in which a single collection inadvertently contains a mixture of taxa.
