UPDATE!!!
I'm in a bit of shock right now, but I am having my first mushroom described. There have been happy tears this morning.

I propose the name Amanita oakmanensis nom. prov.

In a BLAST run against GenBank’s current data set, the closest species is Amanita trygonion with a genetic distance of 1.0% (10 differences out of 974 characters).
