Rod, I removed Vaill. because of comments you’ve made in the past regarding the naming of this species, you do not cite him on your personal website either.
I’m interested to know why your changing your mind about this now.
I was only following your recommendation when you said Vaill. was not valid.
Species Fungorum shows the current correct name as
Amanita phalloides (Vaill. ex Fr.) Link
Reapproving since this is not really deprecated. If the community decides to remove the sanctioning author, then I can do it on the back end so we don’t end up with mix of names.

Summary:
I agree with Rod on keeping “Vaill.”
I thought the only point up for debate is the " : Fr." bit. I voted for dropping it for simplicity and consistency.
However, I don’t feel really strongly about dropping it since it conveys some valuable information. In particular, it tells me this is a really old name based primarily on macroscopic features that probably doesn’t have a useful original type collection.
