    spores The spores of this species measure (5.5-) 8.6 - 13.0 (-15.5) × (4.0-) 6.5 - 9.4 (-12.0) μm, and are broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid (rarely subglobose or elongate) and inamyloid.  Clamps are absent from bases of basidia.
    discussion Known from the Dominican Republic under deciduous trees, where it occurs in November and December.

    It is similar to another Caribbean species described from Trinidad and Tobago—A. antillana, which differs, at least, in having proportionately broader spores.—R. E. Tulloss and A. Wu
