Justification
Amanita novinupta is a common and widespread species with oaks in western North America. No decline has been reported nor any threats identified. It is assessed as Least Concern (LC).Taxonomic notes
Amanita novinupta was described from western North America (Tulloss and Lindgren 1994); before that it was recorded under the European species A. rubescens (Thiers 1982, Arora 1986). There are cryptic species in the A. novinupta complex; one of which, A. cruentilemurum Tulloss nom. prov. (Tulloss et al. 2021) can now be differentiated, but some of the records of A. novinupta likely pertain to this, and possibly other species.Geographic range
This species is widespread in western North America; very common in coastal California from San Diego into Mendocino County; scattered in the California mountains, and occasional records through the Pacific Northwest into southern British Columbia, Canada. Also it is expected to occur in northern Baja California, Mexico, but subopulations from Arizona and New Mexico are suspect; they likely represent Amanita cruentilemurum Tulloss nom. prov.Population and Trends
The population is widespread, and locally it is a very common species occurring in young to mature forests, especially with oaks (Quercus spp.). No decline has been noted.
Population Trend: stable
