Rare species of the genus Amanita recorded within the Special Nature Reserve "Goč-Gvozdac"

Abstract

Five species of the genus Amanita Pers.: Amanita nivalis Grev, Amanita pini Neville & Poumarat, Amanita friabilis (P. Karst.) Bas Amanita betulae Neville & Poumarat and Amanita coryli f. albida Neville & Poumarat., were observed during the research of macromycetes of the Special Nature Reserve "Goč-Gvozdac" in the period from 2014 to 2021. These are the first records of these species in Serbia. Since these species are rare in other European countries, this paper aims to contribute to a better knowledge of these species. Enclosed are the photographs taken at the site, macroscopic and microscopic descriptions of the species with corresponding photographs of the finds including comments relating to distribution, ecology and taxonomy.
