THE AMANITAS OF SWEDEN. 
H. C. BEARDSLEE. 
During the past summer it was the privilege of the writer to 
spend two months in the vicinity of Stockholm, studying the fun¬ 
gous flora of that region. The folloiwng notes are intended to out¬ 
line some of the impressions of an American mycologist, gained 
from a study of the Amanitas with which Fries and his associates 
were familiar, with the hope that they may prove to be of interest 
to other American students of this genus, and serve as a slight 
contribution to a correct understanding of our own species. 
The Amanitas which were observed included nine species, 
viz.: A. verna, muscaria, pantherina, spissa, rubescens, porphyria, 
mappa, strangulata, and vaginata. A. muscaria and rubescens and 
Amanitopsis vaginata need little comment.
