List of Amanita species

The following is a list of some notable species of the agaric genus "Amanita". This genus contains over 500 named species and varieties, so the list is far from exhaustive. The list follows the classification of subgenera and sections of "Amanita" outline by Corner and Bas (1962) and Bas (1969), as used by Tulloss (2007). Bolding of the species name and an asterisk (*) following indicates the species is the type species of that section, with a double asterik (**) indicating the type species of the entire genus. Use of common names follows Tuloss (2007), Holden (2003), Arora (1986), and Lincoff (1981).
