Comment on Amanita submembranacea (Bon) Gröger (13790)

Summary: thoughts…

Comment: Irene,
Your photo and data point strongly to A. submembranacea. If the cap were a deep warm brown color and the volval limb were graying as in A. submembranacea, a name that is not yet validated might apply: A. castaneogrisesa (this name was intended by Contu to be a nomenclatural synonym of A. submembranacea var. bispora D. A. Reid). I thought O (Oslo) had at least one specimen that might be castaneogrisea. The latter species has often been called A. submembranacea in Scotland and northern England.
