Abstract
© 2020 Board of the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium (Adelaide, South Australia)
In the protologue of Amanita peltigera D.A.Reid the type locality is stated as Stirling West, Western Australia, but no such place exists. Both collector information and rainfall records for the relevant period indicate the type locality is in South Australia not Western Australia. A comparison of collections of A. peltigera from Kangaroo Island, South Australia, with collections from the southwest of Western Australia shows they form a single clade without a clear geographic distribution among its subclades. Amanita peltigera falls within the recently recognised section Arenariae. An amended and expanded description of A. peltigera is provided.
