This list includes 54 taxa many of which are represented by provisional names or temporary code numbers.  Of this total, 51 are species of Amanita and three are species of Limacella.  All seven sections of the genus Amanita are represented in the list. To date, one of the three sections of Limacella (sect. Lubricae) is represented.

This data is largely derived from collections made during the Chiricahua Mycoflora Project (CMP) organized by Drs. John Menge and Florence Nishida and extending over the years 1989 - 1999(?).  All taxa found during the CMP are marked with the project's acronym and habitat information recorded during the project.  Forest fires have radically changed the landscape since that time.

Other major sources of information are various versions of an unpublished Ms. on the genus Amanita that was drafted by the late Dr. A. H. Smith.  One or more of these copies is deposited in the herbarium of the University of Michigan (MICH).  RET also expresses his gratitude to Dr. Nancy Weber and the late Dr. O. K. Miller, Jr. who were sources for photocopies of pages from their two version of the Ms. in question.  The entries based on the Smith Mss. are marked "A. H. Sm."


Habitat: The taxa found during the CMP are annotated with codes (A-E) indicating the ecotypes in the Chiricahua Mountains in which each taxon was collected.  The definitions of the codes follow:  [ not reviewed ]
A (JQP) Oak, juniper, pinon pine (1576-1818 m elev.)
B (QPJ, Riparian) Riparian; oaks, pines, juniper, sycamore, walnut, cottonwood, yucca (1636-1939 m)
C (MDE) Mixed deciduous hardwoods & conifers; oaks, pines, some Pinus arizonica, Pseudotsuga menziesii (1879-2424 m)
D (MC) Mixed conifers, numerous P. arizonica, Ps. menziesii (2485-2758 m)
E (PC) Aspen and mixed conifers (above 2600 m)

Genus Amanita

Subgenus Amanita - spores inamyloid.

Section Amanita - Fruiting body developing in eccentric position (above center) in primordium; hence, stipe with a bulb at the base; lacking a saccate volva.  Although data is absent for several taxa, all taxa in this group should be suspected of containing ibotenic acid, muscimol, or similar compounds.  All photographs for this section taken by R. E. Tulloss.
