Abstract
Thirteen species of Amanita have been recorded from South Africa, two wrongly, namely A. citrina and A. strobiliformis ( solitaria ); descriptions are given of the remainder. A. excelsa, A. muscaria, A. pantherina, A. phalloides and A. rubescens are considered to be of European origin. A. praeclara and A. roseolescens are regarded as native, as are two new taxa, A. foetidissima and A. veldiei , together with A. pleropus for which the first comprehensive account is provided. A discussion of A. praetoriae is included.
