Due to delays in data processing at GenBank, some accession numbers may lead to unreleased (pending) pages.
These pages will eventually be made live, so try again later.

| intro |
The following text may make multiple use of each data field.
A field may 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 original research of R. E. Tulloss and field notes of Greg Wright. |
| pileus |
ca. 85 mm wide, white, glabrous; context white, 5.5 mm thick above midpoint of lamellae; margin nonstriate, extending 3 mm beyond end of lamellae; universal veil as medium-sized pyramidal warts, white, becoming brown at tip with age, plentiful. |
| lamellae |
narrowly adnate, close to crowded, pale gray-green, with edge eventually becoming brownish yellow when bruised, drying honey to buff (4A-B3), up to 4.5 mm broad, with fimbriate edge; lamellulae subattenuate, in one or two ranks. |
| stipe |
110 × 12 mm, ??, cylindric; bulb elongate-fusiform; context white, firmly stuffed, with 3 mm wide central cylinder; partial veil superior; universal veil giving rise to chunky, recurved scales on upper part of bulb. |
| odor/taste |
Odor of chlorine or moderately so. Taste raw, of chlorine or moderately so; cooked, “suggests papaya, but not sweet, pungent-rotten” (per Wright). |
macrochemical
tests |
KOH soln. - negative on pileus. Phenol - negative on stipe context. H2SO4 - negative on lamellae. FeSO4 - negative on stipe context. Wieland test - yellow, then orange halo.
UV light - part of pileus and stipe surfaces, lamellae, pileus context below pileipellis, and portions of stipe context flourescing moderately yellow. |
| lamella trama |
bilateral, divergent; filamentous, undifferentiated hyphae 2.8 - 9.8 µm wide, ??; inflated cells mostly elongate, up to 108 × 21 µm; vascular hyphae 3.5 - 5.2 µm wide, ??; clamps present. |
| basidia |
54 - 62 × 8.7 - 10.8 µm, mostly 4-, also 3-, 2-, and 1-sterigmate; clamps present. |
| stipe context |
longitudinally acrophysalidic; ??. |
| basidiospores |
[40/1/1] (7.7-) 8.4 - 10.5 (-10.8) × 4.9 - 7.0 µm, (L = 9.2 - 9.3 µm; L = 9.3 µm; W = 6.1 µm; Q = (1.30-) 1.36 - 1.71 (-1.86); Q = 1.52), hyaline, colorless, thin-walled, ??, amyloid, ellipsoid to elongate; apiculus sublateral, ??; contents guttulate; ?? in deposit. |
| ecology |
In dark brown soil “where 'Cantharellus cibarius' was fruiting,” hence, presumably with Quercus agrifolia. |
| material examined |
U.S.A.: CALIFORNIA—Los Angeles Co. - Santa Monica Mtns., 5.xi.1983 Dick Smith s.n. [G. Wright 3228] (in herb. G. Wright; RET 080-6). |
| discussion |
The spores of this tentative species are similar to those of A. californica, and this similarity must be further explored:
