Swat valley is Himalayan moist temperate forest of Pakistan. It is also called mini Switzerland of Pakistan. This area has diverse flora. A wide diversity of mushrooms is present over here but number of species explored is very small. In the present study, a species of Amanita was collected during field tour and identified on the basis of morpho-anatomical and molecular markers which confirmed its identification as Amanita flavipes. BLAST analysis of this species has been re-investigated from new locality swat and is being reported first time from this area.
