Species

Torrendia is a genus of agaric fungi in the family Amanitaceae[1] in part defined by being sequestrate. By molecular analyses the genus was shown to be part of Amanita[2] and has now been placed in synonymy with Amanita.[3] The type species, Torrendia pulchella, was first described by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola in 1902, based on material collected in Portugal and sent to him by Camille Torrend.[4] It has been renamed in Amanita as Amanita torrendii.[3]
