Reference excerpt

The following is a list of species of the agaric genus Amanita, one that contains over 500 named species and varieties. Building on the taxonomical outline of Amanita by Corner and Bas (1962) and Bas (1969), the subgenus and section scheme of Cui et al. (2018) is followed by this list. Bolding of the species name and an asterisk (*) following indicates the species is the type species of that section, with a double asterisk (**) indicating the type species of the entire genus. The use of common names follows Tulloss (2007), Holden (2003), Arora (1986), and Lincoff (1981). The names of the remainder of the species in the genus not assigned to subgenera by those authors are sourced from Index Fungorum and have been appended to the end of the list.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of Amanita species

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of Amanita species claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of Amanita species before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of Amanita species ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of Amanita species

In research: List of Amanita species appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of Amanita species in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of Amanita species is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Amanita, Lists of fungal species, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of Amanita species outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
