Observation: Amanita aprica J. Lindgr. & Tulloss (7416)

When: 2008-04-28
Collection location: Oak Bottom Campground, Siskiyou Co., California, USA [Click for map]
Who: John Harlan (harlanx6)
No herbarium specimen

Notes: These Amanitas with the flecks of veil tissue on the cap are so close that if they are tan or brown I call them panthera, and if they are yellow, gemmata.

Proposed Names: Propose New Name

Proposed Name	User	Community Vote
*Amanita gemmata* (Fr.) Bertill. (1866)	harlanx6	(3)
Recognized by sight Used references: David Arora
*Amanita aprica* J. Lindgr. & Tulloss	amanitarita	(3)
Recognized by sight: The very bright yellow with a hint of orange cap plus the universal veil which appears to be part of the cap (not easily removed) suggests that this yellow amanita is actually aprica, not gemmata. See Lindgren’s and Tulloss’s recent description of this species here: http://pluto.njcc.com/~ret/amanita/species/aprica.html
