| 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 from the protolog in Davison et al. (2015). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| pileus | protolog: 35 - 70 mm wide, milky coffee to hazel to sepia (5D4–F6–6D4–F5), initially convex becoming planar, without surface staining or bruising, tacky when moist; context white or pale vinaceous buff (pale 5C2), up to to 9 mm thick; marginsulcate (0.1-0.4R), nonappendiculate; universal veil absent or as easily removed central floccose white or pale brown-tinged patch. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| lamellae | protolog: free to adnexed to adnate, sometimes with decurrent tooth, crowded to sub-distant, white or pale vinaceous buff (pale 5C2), 5–9 mm broad, with margin concolorous, fimbriate; lamellulae truncate to sub-attenuate, absent or infrequent. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| stipe | protolog: 60 - 135 × 7 - 14 mm wide, cylindric or narrowing upwards, white with bands of milky coffee (5D4) adpressed floccules; context hollow to stuffed, white; exannulate; universal veil as saccate volva, loosely sheathing or occasionally flaring, to 20 mm high, up to 2 mm thick, submembranous, friable, the outer surface floccose, white or pale brown, the inner surface smooth, pale grayish brown. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| odor/taste | protolog: Odor lacking or fish-like. Taste not recorded. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| macrochemical tests |
none recorded. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| partial veil | absent. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| basidiospores | protolog: [220/11/9] (9.0-) 10.0 - 13.0 (-15.0) × (7.5-) 8.0 - 10.5 (-12.0) μm, (L = 10.4 - 12.3 μm; L’ = 11.1 μm; W = 8.8 - 9.8 μm; W’ = 9.2 μm; Q = (1.0-) 1.09 - 1.33 (-1.76); Q = 1.16 - 1.26; Q’ = 1.21), hyaline, colourless, with wall slightly thickened, smooth, inamyloid, broadly ellipsoid, occasionally subglobose or ellipsoid or elongate, adaxially flattened; contents monoguttulate or granular; apiculus sublateral to lateral, short, cylindric, to 1.5 × 1.5 μm, rounded; white in deposit. [Note: As in almost all white-spored amanitas, the spores become cream with age.—ed.] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ecology | protolog: "Solitary to gregarious in leaf litter in association with Agonis flexuosa, A. theiformis, Allocasuarina fraseriana, Corymbia calophylla, Eucalyptus marginata, E. patens, E.staeri, Jacksonia furcellata, Kunzea glabrescens, Melaleuca sp., Podocarpus drouynianus, Taxandria parviceps. Occurs in the Swan Coastal Plain, Jarrah Forest, and Warren IBRA bioregions (Department of the Environment 2013)." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
