The editors of this site owe a great debt to Dr. Cornelis Bas
whose famous cigar box files of Amanita nomenclatural information
gathered over three or more decades were made available to RET for computerization
and make up the lion's share of the nomenclatural information presented on this site.

| intro |
The following text may make multiple use of each data field.
The field may contain magenta text presenting data from a type study
and/or revision of other original material cited in the protolog of the present taxon.
Macroscopic descriptions in magenta are a combination of data from the protolog and
additional observations made on the exiccata during revision of the cited original
material.
The same field may also contain black text, which is data from a revision of the present
taxon (including non-type material and/or material not cited in the protolog).
Paragraphs of black text will be labeled if further subdivision of
this text is appropriate.
Olive text indicates a specimen that has not been
thoroughly examined (for example, for microscopic details) and marks other places in the text
where data is missing or uncertain.
The following material is derived primarily from the protolog of the present taxon and the revision of Dr. C. Bas (1969). Additional information comes from (Reid 1980).
frp, Bas (1969): Basidiome medium to large, slender. |
| pileus |
from Bas (1969): 50 - 100 mm wide, grayish white to white or pale ochraceous buff, sometimes with brownish or grayish tinges, convex to plano-convex, with slight depression over disc, viscid when moist, glabrous and shiny in spots when dry; context [white, at least 6 mm thick over stipe, "attenuating outwards" (per protolog)—ed.]; margin non-sulcate, appendiculate; universal veil sometimes as felted-flocculose covering of entire cap, occasionally as scattered low subpyramidal warts with firm tips and somewhat felted-fibrillose base and decreasing in size toward margin. |
| lamellae |
from Bas (1969): just free to slightly adnexed, crowded, cream-white turning pale buff in age, 6 - 13 mm broad, ventricose; lamellulae scarce, "probably attenuate." |
| stipe |
from Bas (1969): 75 - 125 × 10 - 22 mm, white or whitish, slightly narrowing upward, fibrillose-squamulose to subglabrous, somewhat striate at apex; bulb up to 75 × 35 mm, abrupt, elongate-fusiform to elongate-subconical; context solid, [white per protolog—ed.]; partial veil superior to median, moderately broad, pendent to appressed, white, submembranous-felted, striate; universal veil (limbus internus) as small scales or warts or some circular ridges at top of bulb. |
| odor/taste |
from protolog: Odor "sometimes slightly fragrant, when cut somewhat phosphorus-like." Taste not recorded. |
macrochemical
tests |
none recorded. |
| pileipellis |
from Bas (1969): as rather thick layer gelatinized layer, yellowish in alkaline solution; hyphae 1.5 - 6 μm wide, subrially arranged or interwoven. |
| pileus context |
not described. |
| lamella trama |
from Bas (1969): bilateral. |
| subhymenium |
from Bas (1969): ramose. |
| basidia |
from Bas (1969): 45 - 55 × 10 - 13 μm, mostly 4-, sometimes 1- or 2-sterigmate; clamps frequent. |
| universal veil |
from Bas (1969): On pileus: yellowish in alkaline solution, with chains of inflated cells and elongate terminal cells dominantly vertically arranged except in wart tips (there with cells smaller, more nearly globose, and disorganized); hyphae 3 - 10 μm wide, branching, scattered: inflated cells mainly clavate to ellipsoid, also globose or irregularly shaped, up to 180 × 45 μm and up to 100 × 70 μ, abundant, terminal singly or in chains. |
| stipe context |
from Bas (1969): hyphae 3 - 8 μm wide, scattered; acrophysalides abundant, up to 380 × 45 μm. |
| partial veil |
not described. |
| lamella edge tissue |
from Bas (1969): inflated cells abundant, clavate to pyriform, up to 35 × 18 μm. |
| basidiospores |
Bas (1969): [35/5/2] 10.0 - 13.0 (-14.5) × (5.0-) 6.0 - 7.5 μm, (Q = 1.40 - 2.20 (-2.50); Q = 1.70 - 2.10), somewhat yellowish in alkaline solution, thin-walled, amyloid, broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid to elongate to cylindric; apiculus not described; contents subgranular; color in deposit not recorded.
from Reid (1980): [-/-/1] 8.0 - 11.0 × 5.0 - 6.8 μm, (est. Q = 1.41 - 1.81; est. Q = 1.61). [Note: Based on Reid's revision of ADW 9203—ed.] |
| ecology |
from protolog: Partly buried in sand. |
| material examined |
Bas (1969): AUSTRALIA: SOUTH AUSTRALIA—Sturt Co. - Kinchina, s.d. J. B. Cleland s.n. (lectotype, ADW 9202 => AD), 10.x.1925 J. B. Cleland s.n. (orig. matl., ADW 9203 => AD, inappropriately proposed to supersede the lectotype by Reid (1980)). |
| discussion |
Reid (1980) argued for replacement of the lectotype designated by Bas (1969) for the present species. In attempting to supersede Bas' selection of lectotype, Reid makes indirect reference to article 9.17 of the ICBN, part (b): "The author who first designates a lectotype or a neotype must be followed, but that choice is superseded if...(b) it is in serious conflict with the protologue and another element is available that is not in conflict with the protologue...." Since both Bas and Reid accept the fact that the collection designated by Bas and the collection designated by Reid are in fact conspecific, Reid does not establish in the least that Bas' choice of lectotype is in conflict with the protolog. Therefore, Bas' choice must stand. According to Reid, documentation unavailable to Bas makes the non-lectotype collection a more thoroughly annotated one.
