| 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 not directly from the protolog of the present taxon and not cited as the work of another author is based on original research of R. E. Tulloss. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| discussion |
The present species has a type that is in poor condition. The spores from the type collection are similar to those of other taxa such as A. cylindrispora, A. peckiana and A. virosiformis; however, these three taxa are presently placed in three different sections of the genus. Apparently, spore shape and size are not going to give sufficient resolution in the case of the taxonomy of A. cylindrisporiformis. Sporograph comparisons of the spore data from the type of the present taxon with A. cylindrispora (sect. Lepidella), A. peckiana (sect. Amidella), and A. virosiformis (sect. Phalloideae) follow. We have not included Murrill's original spore measurements on this page. He was not a very good microscopist unfortunately and significantly understated the size of the spores of this taxon. more | ||||||||||||||||||||

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.
