spores
Spores of A. cetovenoris measure
(10.0-) 10.1 - 11.9 (-12.7) × (7.0-) 9.0
- 10.9 (-11.0) μm and are inamyloid and subglobose to
broadly ellipsoid (rarely ellipsoid); clamps are not
present at the bases of basidia.
discussion
This species is known from Atlantic subarctic heath
on Saddle Island, Labrador and in Birch (Betula)
forest in Norway.
The Canadian specimen originally used in characterizing
this probable species was formerly included in the
grouping identified as
Amanita sp-NFL10 on this site.—R. E. Tulloss

pre-colonial period.

discussion
This species was originally thought to be part of
Amanita
sp-NFL10. However the material
originally
assigned to the temporary code name
proved to contain elements that were genetically
distinct.
The first molecular work on the Canadian
material of this taxon was
done by participants in the Agaricales Diversification
Project.

Spore data for collections provisionally identified as: Amanita cetovenoris Tulloss, Gulden & Voitk
Each spore data set is intended to comprise a set of measurements from a single specimen made by a single observer;
and explanations prepared for this site talk about specimen-observer pairs associated with each data set.
Combining more data into a single data set is non-optimal because it obscures observer differences
(which may be valuable for instructional purposes, for example) and may obscure instances in which
a single collection inadvertently contains a mixture of taxa.
