  • Delist Although, since it's unused, it's basically automatic unless someone can find A. a good enough identification that we can use the image with confidence (Sasata's message may well be enough), and B. a place to use it.

  • Delist pending correct identification and actual use in an article. At least the image itself is of high quality. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 16:42, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    To be fair, it is identified, sort of, but as a provisional species. Which means that until it's made an official species, it's in a limbo. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.9% of all FPs 18:06, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is this a good enough source to add it to List of Amanita species? There are other species in that list indicated as indefinite, and there is room for the image. I'd rather not do so myself, since the only thing I know about mushrooms is not to eat ones found anywhere except the grocery store. blameless 21:53, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The name has definitely made its way into the literature, but (just from some quick googling) it looks like the species hasn't been formerly named yet. For example, it has an entry in this book, which is from a university press. (The lead author is a prolific mycologist.) This seems to be the original (but not formally published) description; at least, it's cited in at least one scholarly paper. But this isn't a straightforward situation.
