Distribution
The picture says it was taken in ohio and yet this mushroom is said to not be in the United States. Please explain —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.56.138.167 (talk) 02:53, 6 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up. Now to find out what that one is...Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:07, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Amanita banningiana according to the source. Ucucha 20:07, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

The Distribution section states the subject is found in forests "at altitudes of 2,200–3,000 m (7,200–9,800 ft) above sea level. They prefer plains, ..." The numbers seem wrong, as these altitudes are above the tree line for the Italian alps, so no forests there, yet the species is found in the Italian hills. Please correct or clarify.66.57.74.141 (talk) 01:50, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

"Boletus" to ancient Romans: source?
I have no particular reason to doubt the statement that in ancient Rome this mushroom was called "boletus", and then much later the name "boletus" was given to a completely different mushroom instead. However, there doesn't seem to be any mention of how and when that name transfer happened, or where the information about it can be confirmed. TooManyFingers (talk) 20:26, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
