| intro | The following information is derived from (Yang 1997). |
| cap |
Fruiting bodies of A. citrina var. grisea are medium-sized. The cap is 70 - 80 mm wide, convex to applanate, grey to dark grey with a brownish tinge, innately radially fibrillose, and covered with cream-colored to yellowish felty volval remnants; the cap's margin is smooth and non-appendiculate; and the flesh is white. |
| gills |
The gills are free, crowded, and white, occasionally with a pinkish tinge; the short gills are attenuate. |
| stem |
The stipe is 80 × 9 - 14 mm, subcylindric or attenuate upwards, with a surface that is white; the stipe's basal bulb is 25 mm wide and abrupt to subabrupt. The annulus is membranous, with an upper surface that is yellow to yellowish and a lower surface that is grayish to whitish. |
| spores |
The spores of A. citrina var. grisea measure 8.0 - 10.0 (-11.0) × 7.5 - 9.0 (-10.5) µm and are subglobose and amyloid. Clamps are absent from bases of basidia. |
| discussion |
Amanita citrina var. grisea was
originally described from Japan. It was
recently reported also from southwestern China. The reader may wish to compare the present species to the following taxa: A. mappa, A. lavendula, and A. sinocitrina.—Zhu L. Yang |

Spore data sets and their composite
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.
