description
When comparing the descriptions of all European taxa of series Amidella, based on Neville & Poumarat (2004), as shown in Table 6, the Portuguese specimens of Amanita pseudovalens comb. nov., stat. nov. did not conform with the description for the genetically indistinct A. curtipes f. pseudovalens (Neville & Poumarat 2004), diverging in their soil and vegetation affinities and in the microscopy. Therefore, we understand them as representing a separate taxon, however at infraspecific level. Moreover, Table 6 shows that the tartessiana variety resembles A. ponderosa in almost every aspect – the obvious difference being the so far unknown occurrence of large and heavy specimens in the former – being, by comparison, much less similar to the conspecific A. pseudovalens comb. nov., stat. nov. collected in France.
