cap	The fruiting bodies of Amanita ovalispora are small to medium-sized. Its cap is 40 - 70 mm wide, applanate, and sometimes slightly depressed in the center. It is gray to dark gray and glabrous and occasionally covered with white, membranous volval remnants. The margin is tuberculate-striate (30% to 40% of radius) and non-appendiculate, and the context is white.
gills	The gills are free, white, becoming grey to brownish; and the short gills are truncate.
stem	The exannulate stem is 60 - 100 × 6 - 15 mm, subcylindric or slightly attenuate upwards, fistulose, with a surface that is white to dirty white. The upper half of the stipe is often covered with white farinose squamules. The stipe lacks a basal bulb. At the stipe base, the volva is 20 - 40 × 12 - 25 mm, saccate, with an outer surface that is white to whitish and an inner surface that is white to greyish. There is an internal limb present on the inner surface of the volva.
spores	Spores measure (8.0-) 9.0 - 11.0 (-12.0) × (6.5-) 7.0 - 9.0 (-9.5) µm and are broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid and inamyloid. Clamps are absent from the bases of basidia.
discussion	Originally described from Indonesia, this species also is found in tropical China.—Zhu L. Yang

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 derived from the protolog of the present taxon is based upon cited research by ZLY and colleagues.

NOTE: Spore measurements from papers by Z. L. Yang use his "Times New Roman" face for "Q" and "Q'"—respectively, "Q" and "Q."

Spore data for collections
provisionally identified as: Amanita ovalispora Boedijn

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.
