Checklist of Amanitaceae of Pacific Coastal States and Provinces: Alaska to Baja California del Norte and including Idaho



DRAFT - Last change date. - Under active development - DRAFT

In this list of Amanita species, there are now 95? taxa of which 63? appear to be undescribed in the literature. A. pantherina is undoubtedly based on an incorrect determination found in older literature.  A few European species have been found to be in the northern part of the range of this checklist (for example A. muscaria, A. regalis, and A. porphyria).

As noted in the bibliography, we had the privilege of access to unpublished M.Sc. theses of G. J. Breckon and N. Nakamura and to the Amanita portions of manuscripts of A. H. Smith The many collectors who have shared material with are credited on a collection-by-collection basis in the material examined data fields of technical tabs for individual species on the Amanitaceae Studies website (here). Photo credits not given on this page are to be found on individual species pages.

With regard to supraspecific taxa: (Corner and Bas, 1962), (Bas, 1969), and (Gminder, 1994).

Subgenus Amanitina (Spores amyloid. Taxa mycorrhizal)

Section Amidella (Margin appendiculate—at least at first. Volva as a multilayered, thick-limbed, sac on a bulbless stipe base. Many taxa in this section have the unusual combination of amyloid spores with a striate cap margin and truncate lamellae. Species in this section often require microscopic examination for certain identification. A frequent exception is A. whetstoneae. [RET has personal correct field ID rate of around 75%—inadequate.] Many species in this section will stain pinkish (sometimes very briefly) if collected in moist weather or otherwise in very fresh condition. Toxicity of North American taxa of sect. Amidella is unknown.)
