Dave W Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 This past summer I made a collection of Amanitas found growing on my property which I originally thought were examples of A. longipes. I posted the observation on Mushroom Observer, and it caught the attention of Rod Tulloss, Amanita expert. I preserved the specimens and mailed them to Rod. Turns out these mushrooms represent the species A. limbatula, which is rare. Seems this may be the first vouchered occurrance of this type in Pennsylvania. http://mushroomobserver.org/142433?q=1bisz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcooper Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Very cool Dave, it shows how clearly, collecting specimens can mean to the world of mycology! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 It also shows how tricky IDing Amanitas from section Lepidella can be! These types are often relatively easy to ID to section, but quite ellusive when it comes to species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
