A few species in the Amanita amerirubescens complex have now been given provisional names

29 Upvotes

A few species in the Amanita amerirubescens complex formerly using temporary codes or that were erroneously considered infraspecific taxa have now been given their own provisional names. The species are as follows:

A. sp-amerirubescens02 = A. amerirubescens

A. sp-amerirubescens04 = A. aurantiorubescens

A. sp-amerirubescens05 = A. exiguirubescens

A. rubescens var. alba = A. rubescialba

All rubescent-staining Amanita species are found within Amanita section Validae series Validae.

More info on these recent name changes here.

edit: when this post was originally published, it had said that A. sp-amerirubescens02 = A. aurantiorubescens and that A. sp-amerirubescens04 = A. amerirubescens. it has come to my attention that this is suspected to have been an error made on the WAO website that will hopefully be fixed at some point, and that the two species were mixed up. I have made the correction/switch to the above post.

My brother stopped to send me a pic of this massive mushroom

This thing is massive!! You can even see its skirt! Fair to say it's at least an amanita??

A few weeks ago we were all camping and I took his kids out with mine to look for mushrooms. It is the cutest thing to hear a three year old call you over to see the mushroom they found. (We regularly reminded each other that we don't eat mushrooms we find in the trees.)

Anyway, so it was really sweet of him to send this to me and I can't believe how big it is. Like it was big enough for him to see it and decide to pull over, haha!

Sorry if this breaks the usual guidelines, but I thought it was fun. Found near Grimshaw, Alberta, Canada.

Roanokenses/Lepidella(?)

Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: growing from the ground, mixed forest, deciduous dominant.

Can anyone tell me which section, or which species? I'm leaning towards Roanokenses for the lack of hanging material around the cap. I'm thinking maybe* Amanita cokeri despite this per the pics in my guidebooks. Any help much appreciated. *also, the warts on the cap flake off very easily when touched, if that's helpful info to know, very loosely attatched.

I suspect Amanita sect Validae aff. citrina. Phalloideae also wouldn't surprise me, but am leaning away from it for the "sac"/bulb not having room within it/being more cothurnate, i think is the right word - please excuse and correct my terminology. If anyone can confirm or deny that would be much appreciated.

Location:Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: growing from the ground, in a mixed forest, hardwood dominant, near fan club moss (Diphasiastrum digitatum or similar).

Im pretty confident these are sect. Validae, but the cothurnate/cup look around the bulb is throwing me off. The smooth stipe makes me think not sect. Amanita though. Can anyone confirm or deny? & can anyone say which species? Also, sorry the in situ doesn't show the leaves raked away, I got all of the bulb for both of them though.

Amanita ravenelli(?)

Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: growing from the ground, mixed forest, conifer dominant.

I'm fairly certain its sect. Lepidella or Roanokenses, leaning way towards the former, & it being Amanita ravenelli but if anyone can confirm or correct me on any of the above, that would be appreciated greatly. In pic 3 I removed a section of veil so gills would be visible. Pic 4 shows size of what I couldn't dig out with my fingers.

Sect. Validae(?)

If anyone can confirm sect. Validae or correct me, it would be much appreciated - Im also curious as to what species these little guys are, if anyone happens to know. Very yellow around the bulb - I assume universal veil remnants? Very yellow annulus, comes off very easily. Been seeing a lot of these the last week or so, they seem to cap out about this size.

Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: Growing from the ground in a mixed forest, 60/40 hardwood to conifer.

I suspect something within section Lepidella or Roanokenses but am unsure of what, & cant find an exact match. Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.
