The amyloid reaction with Melzer’s solution has been studied in the hyphae of basidiocarps in selected Amanita species. The species of the subgenus Amanita (with no amyloid reaction of the spore-walls) have given diverse reactions in hyphae of basidiocarps. The species from the section Amanita (Amanita friabilis, A. gemmata, A. muscaria, A. pantherina and A. regalis) have the amyloid substance in the plasma; it is particularly visible at the boundary of trama of pileus and stipe. In the section Vaginatae the reaction of hyphae was either positive (A. beckeri, A. caesarea, A. crocea, A. inaurata) or negative (A. fulva, A. mairei, A. umbrinolutea, A. vaginata). No amyloid substance was found in the plasma in species of subgenus Lepidella which show amyloid reaction in their spore-walls.
