I would like to look at the available specimen or part of it.

This species is very similar to Amanita jakeslandingensis nom. prov.
There are other zonate-capped Vaginatae in the eastern U.S. also.
I’d like to see what DNA can tell us about this specimen.
Very best,

…sequence. It differs fro the sequences we have for Amanita albemarlensis in only one character of 672—-0.15% genetic distance. Although your material is older and colors have changed, I think we should call this Amanita albemarlensis.
We have had difficulty with sequencing albemarlensis in the past. So this is not new in dealing with the species.
A very interesting find. This is a first record for Kentucky.
Nice photos, too.
Very best,
Rod
