| discussion | This species is based on a single collection. In the three protologs of amanitas of section Amanita written by the present authors and published in the composite "Fungal Diversity Notes" of Fungal Diversity 78(1), they mistakenly report pleuro- and cheilocystidia for amanitas and and mistakenly state that the surface of the stipe has a distinct stipipellis. | ||||||||||||||||||||
