Abstract

Amanita aureofloccosa is reported for the first time from South America, in semideciduous seasonal forests at the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (29°43′S and 53°47′W). It is a rare species of Amanita sect. Vitadinii and characterized by its brightly colored basidiome. For a better comparison, the lectotype and other African materials of this species were also analyzed.
