The

agarics and is one of six genera in the family Amanitaceae, of which the similar Amanita is also a member. Saproamanita differs from Amanita in that its species are saprophytic, and not ectomycorrhizal
.

Description

Saproamanita resemble Amanita. They have a pileus, free lamellae, a central stipe, and an annulus. Below the annulus are scales and rings, remnants of the universal veil composed largely of cylindrical to slender, clavate, inflated hyphal cells mostly scattered in the central stipe region (rather than the base).[2] The spores are white and amyloid.

Taxonomy

The name refers to the saprotrophic life style and the generic relationship to its sister genus, Amanita. In earlier studies the genus was ill-defined and named Lepidella and later Aspidella. Both of these names are unusable because of earlier usage by biologists for other organisms, e.g. Aspidella E. Billings. The most recent adoption of the name Aspidella[3] was based on a molecularly and ecologically defined genus similar to the current circumscription.[4]

DNA molecular evidence for the separation of the genus from Amanita was first detected in a 2002 study of mushrooms and their, with

mycorrhizal species[7] is more correctly named Amanita subgen. Amanitina.[4][9]

Currently there are two competing contemporary classifications, one that recognizes the two genera, Amanita and Saproamanita,[4][10][11][12] and the other that maintains both genera under the older name Amanita.[13]

A recent phylogenetic tree for the genus included information from Thailand by Nakarin Suwannarach and Surapong Khuna.[14]

Distribution and habitat

Saproamanita are known to inhabit grasslands, lawns, pastures, fens, and fields in

fairy rings. At least three of the species are invasive species expanding their ranges, S. inopinata in Europe, S. thiersii in North America, and S. manicata in Hawaii.[2][22][23][12]
