The editors of this site owe a great debt to Dr. Cornelis Bas
whose famous cigar box files of Amanita nomenclatural information
gathered over three or more decades were made available to RET for computerization
and make up the lion's share of the nomenclatural information presented on this site.

Olive text indicates a specimen
that has not been
thoroughly examined (for example, for microscopic
details) and marks other places in the text
where data is missing or uncertain.
The following material is derived in part from
molecular
studies of Dr. L. V. Kudzma and other original
research of R. E. Tulloss. |

| discussion |
RET's old view that the subhymenium of this species
was not composed of inflated cells must be attributed
to his misinterpretation of the collapsed tissues of
the holotype, which he reviewed when he was
inexperienced. Modern collections of the species show
he was in error.
RET's provisional name "A. canadensis" has been
referred here because his idea that he was viewing a
specimen distinct from A. peckiana was based
in part on the above mentioned mistake.
This species has also been called "species 39" in old
lists, keys, and correspondence of RET. |
