Amanita viscidolutea is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae native to Brazil.

Taxonomy

The species was first described by Menolli, Capelari & Baseia in 2009.[1]

Description

Amanita viscidolutea has a yellow pileus of 4–6 centimetres (1+1⁄2–2+1⁄2 inches) in diameter, plane to depressed, with distinct striate white margin and yellowish-white patches of universal veil at center. Lamellae are free, yellowish-white, truncate to rounded-truncate. The stipe is 8–12 cm (3–4+1⁄2 in) tall and about 38 millimetres (1+1⁄2 in) wide, yellowish-white and exannulate, with bulb-shaped remnants of universal veil encircling stipe base. It has a pleasant aroma. Basidiospores are inamyloid.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Native to Brazil, this species is solitary to subgregarious, and grows in sandy soil. It is associated and thus possibly in mycorrhizal symbiosis with Coccoloba and Guapira species.[1][2]

Conservation

It is listed as a vulnerable species on IUCN Red List.[1] Given its habitat, it is threatened by deforestation.[1]
