These pages will eventually be made live, so try again later.

| 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 based on the collector's
phtograph, molecular studies
of Dr. Linas V. Kudzma and other original research
of R. E. Tulloss. |
| pileus |
grayish brown to dark brownish gray, convex;
context ??;
margin striate;
universal veil in small, rather thin, rather
small patches, scattered, rather pleniful. |
| lamellae |
probably free, close to crowded, white in mass and in
side view, with edges fimbriate or pulverulent;
lamellulae truncate, plentiful, of diverse
lengths,
??. |
| stipe |
white, narrowing upward, sometime developing recurved
and/or decurved scales; context white, becoming
yellowish
in larval tunnels; exannulate; unversal
veil saccatae, white on both surfaces, often
presistent at stipe base. |
| odor/taste |
neither reported. |
macrochemical
tests |
none recorded. |
| basidia |
??, 4-sterigmate; clamps
rare or absent. |
| lamella edge tissue |
sterile. |
