Abstract

This handsome mushroom was described from New York in 1872 by Peck¹ as Agaricus (Amanita) volvatus. It is not uncommon in the eastern United States, and Murrill² noted that it occurs rarely in the warmer parts of temperate Europe. By most recent writers it is placed in the genus Amanitopsis, or its equivalent, Vaginata. Thus Kauffman³ lists it as Amanitopsis volvata Pk.; Coker⁴ as Amanitopsis agglutinata (B. & C.) Sacc.; Murrill⁵ as Vaginata agglutinata (B. & C.) Kuntze. On the other hand, J. E. Gilbert⁶ regards it as identical with Amanita avoidea Bull. var. baccata Fr. References could be multiplied to show the confusion into which this species has fallen, but those cited will suffice.
