List of Amanita species

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of species of the agaric genus Amanita, one that contains over 500 named species and varieties. Building on the taxonomical outline of Amanita by Corner and Bas (1962) and Bas (1969),[1][2] the subgenus and section scheme of Cui et al. (2018)[3] is followed by this list. 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). The names of the remainder of the species in the genus not assigned to subgenera by those authors are sourced from Index Fungorum and have been appended to the end of the list.[4]
