Review (by Malcolm Storey)

A recently-described addition to the Amanitopsis group.

This is a difficult group because what you find in the field often doesn’t match anything in the books. A few new species to cover these, combined with better descriptions (including details of volva microscopy), should make things easier.

Examine with x15 or x20 hand lens ( Compound Microscope is also useful)
