Etymology:
"Quenda is the Nyoongar name for the southern brown bandicoot, Isoodon obesulus (Shaw 1797). Once widespread across southern Australia, these are now restricted to areas where vegetation is dense enough to provide adequate cover. Amanita quenda occurs in a habitat where quenda are still common. The epithet is formed as a noun in apposition."
