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]
