List Of Amanita Species
The following is a list of some notable species of the agaric genus ''Amanita''. This genus contains over 500 named species and varieties, but the list is far from exhaustive. The list follows the classification of subgenera and sections of ''Amanita'' outline by Corner and Bas; Bas, as used by Tulloss (2007) and modified by Redhead & al. (2016) for ''Amanita'' subgenus ''Amanitina'' and Singer for ''Amanita'' section ''Roanokenses''. Bolding of the species name and an asterisk (*) following indicates the species is the type species of that section, with a double asterisk (**) indicating the type species of the entire genus. The use of common names follows Tulloss (2007), Holden (2003), Arora (1986), and Lincoff (1981).

Agaric
An agaric () is a type of fungus fruiting body characterized by the presence of a pileus (cap) that is clearly differentiated from the stipe (stalk), with lamellae (gills) on the underside of the pileus. In the UK, agarics are called "mushrooms" or "toadstools". In North America they are typically called "gilled mushrooms". "Agaric" can also refer to a basidiomycete species characterized by an agaric-type fruiting body. Archaically, agaric meant 'tree-fungus' (after Latin ''agaricum''); however, that changed with the Linnaean interpretation in 1753 when Linnaeus used the generic name ''Agaricus'' for gilled mushrooms. Most species of agaricus belong to the order Agaricales in the subphylum Agaricomycotina. The exceptions, where agarics have evolved independently, feature largely in the orders Russulales, Boletales, Hymenochaetales, and several other groups of basidiomycetes. Old systems of classification placed all agarics in the Agaricales and some (mostly older) sources use ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amanita Farinosa
''Amanita farinosa'', commonly known as the Eastern American floury amanita or the American floury amanita, is a North American poisonous mushroom of the genus ''Amanita'', a genus of fungi including some of the most deadly mushrooms. Taxonomy Two recent molecular studies show that ''Amanita farinosa'' is part of a subgroup within ''Amanita'' with its close relatives '' Amanita muscaria'', '' A. gemmata'' and '' A. roseotincta''.Drehmel D, Moncalvo J-M, & Vilgalys R.

Amanita Roseotincta
''Amanita roseotincta'' is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae found in North America. It was first described by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1914 as a species of ''Venenarius'' before being transferred to ''Amanita The genus ''Amanita'' contains about 600 species of agarics, including some of the most toxic known mushrooms found worldwide, as well as some well-regarded edible species.

Amanita Regalis
''Amanita regalis'', commonly known as the royal fly agaric or the king of Sweden Amanita, is a species of fungus in the family Amanitaceae. Common in Scandinavian countries, it is also found in eastern and northern Europe. In North America, its distribution is restricted to Alaska. The fruit bodies of the fungus somewhat resemble the fly agaric (''Amanita muscaria''), and it was formerly regarded as a variety (botany), variety of this species. ''A. regalis'' differs from it in being larger, with a liver-brown pileus (mycology), cap bearing numerous scabs, and in having a stipe (mycology), stem which is yellow-ochre at the base, with patches or rings of patches. Analytical chemistry, Chemical analysis has shown that this species contains muscimol, the same psychoactive compound found in ''A. muscaria''. Taxonomy and naming ''Amanita regalis'' was first described as ''Agaricus muscarius'' β ''regalis'' by Elias Magnus Fries in his ''Systema Mycologicum'', published i ...

Amanita Petalinivolva
The genus ''Amanita'' contains about 600 species of agarics, including some of the most toxic known mushrooms found worldwide, as well as some well-regarded edible species. This genus is responsible for approximately 95% of the fatalities resulting from mushroom poisoning, with the death cap accounting for about 50% on its own. The most potent toxin present in these mushrooms is α-Amanitin. The genus also contains many edible mushrooms, but mycologists discourage mushroom hunters, other than experts, from selecting any of these for human consumption. Nonetheless, in some cultures, the larger local edible species of ''Amanita'' are mainstays of the markets in the local growing season. Samples of this are ''Amanita zambiana'' and other fleshy species in central Africa, '' A. basii'' and similar species in Mexico, '' A. caesarea'' and the "Blusher" ''Amanita rubescens'' in Europe, and '' A. chepangiana'' in South-East Asia. Other species are used for colouring sauces, such as the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amanita Persicina
''Amanita persicina'', commonly known as the peach-colored fly agaric, is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus ''Amanita''. This fungus was previously believed to be a variety of ''Amanita muscaria'', but research has recently shown that ''Amanita persicina'' is best treated as a distinct species. ''Amanita persicina'' is distinguished by its peach-colored center and its eastern North American distribution. Taxonomy ''Amanita persicina'' was formerly treated as a variety of ''Amanita muscaria'' (commonly known as the fly agaric) and it was classified as ''A. muscaria var. persicina''. Recent DNA evidence, however, has indicated that ''Amanita persicina'' is better treated as a distinct species, and it was elevated to species status in 2015 by Tulloss & Geml. Description ''Amanita persicina'' has a pleasant taste and odor. It is both psychoactive and poisonous if not properly prepared by parboiling. It should not be eaten without further research Cap The pileus (mycology), cap i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amanita Parvipantherina
''Amanita parvipantherina'', also known as the Asian small panther amanita, is a Chinese species of agaric which fruits in July and August. It has a brown cap up to wide covered with whitish remnants of the universal veil. The stem is up to 9 cm tall. The similar '' A. pantherina'' is usually larger and less fragile, with fainter striations around the cap margin. The species is restricted to Yunnan province in China, where it is strongly associated with ''Pinus yunnanensis ''Pinus yunnanensis'', the Yunnan pine, is a species of conifer in the family Pinaceae.

Amanita Parcivolvata
''Amanita parcivolvata'' also known as ringless false fly amanita, is a fungus that produces fruit bodies that vaguely resemble those of ''Amanita muscaria''. It is differentiated, however, by its lack of an annulus, by the volval deposits on its stipe/base, and by its pileal striations. It occasionally lacks a stipe bulb entirely, instead just tapering to a point in the ground with powdery volval deposits on its surface. It ranges from in length and is occasional to common in the Southeastern United States, occurring primarily in ''Quercus'' forests though it has been observed in forests with a mix of conifers and oaks. Taxonomy This ''Amanita'' is in the subgenus ''Amanita'' and in the section ''Amanita''. It was first described by Charles Horton Peck in 1900 as ''Amanitopsis parcivolvata''. Murrill the placed it in the now defunct genus, ''Vaginata, ''in 1910, comparing it to the local specimens of '' Vaginata plumbea'' in Blacksburg, Virginia and finding it distinct. H ...

Amanita Nehuta
''Amanita nehuta'', also called Maori dust amanita, is a species of fungus in the family Amanitaceae.It has only a dark ring rather than a universal veil and white spores. Abundant in New Zealand, it can be found growing under ''Leptospermum'' and ''Nothofagus'' species. Taxonomy The species was first described by New Zealand mycologist Geoff Ridley in 1991. Description Growing on the ground usually in late summer, the cap is wide, plano-convex to plano-depressed, buff, non-viscid, with a striate margin. The volval remnants are pulverulent on the center raised into wart-like peaksor warts or radial ridges, colored pale sepia. Gills are crowded and free, measure wide, and appear white to pale buff. The short gills are subtruncate. Its Stipe (mycology), stipe is 20–75 × 4–11 mm, hollow (mycology), hollow, exannulate, with a smooth to subfloccose upper stem and smooth lower stem. The surface is white, pale buff, or very pale grayish sepia in color like the cap. The b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amanita Muscaria
''Amanita muscaria'', commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita, is a basidiomycete of the genus ''Amanita''. It is also a muscimol mushroom. Native throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, ''Amanita muscaria'' has been unintentionally introduced to many countries in the Southern Hemisphere, generally as a symbiont with pine and birch plantations, and is now a true cosmopolitan species. It associates with various deciduous and coniferous trees. Arguably the most iconic toadstool species, the fly agaric is a large white- gilled, white-spotted, usually red mushroom, and is one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture, including in video games—e.g., the extensive use of a recognizable ''Amanita muscaria'' in the Mario franchise and its Super Mushroom power-up—and television—e.g., the houses in The Smurfs franchise. Despite its easily distinguishable features, ''Amanita muscaria'' is a fungus with several know ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
