  • 1. Amanita constrictisorora, Knights Ferry Recr. Area, Stanislaus Co., California, U.S.A.  (RET 671-8)



  • 2. Amanita constrictisorora, Grass Valley, Nevada Co., California, U.S.A.  (RET 679-1)

  • discussion The nrITS DNA sequence of this species was first found in GenBank mislabeled as representing Amanita constricta.

    The present organism was first called "A. sp-constricta03 in these pages.  The discovery of specimens with the same DNA among material generously sent to the Roosevelt herbarium by supportive collectors gave a "face" to the organism.  See the collector's credits in the "materials examined" datafielf on the techincal tab of this page.

    The present name is intended to provide the suggestion of genetic linkage between the constricta "group" and many other species of the world with graying, submembranous volvas.—R. E. Tulloss
