| intro |
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. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| pileus | brown-gray; universal veil dominantly pulverulent, with subpyramidal warts over disc. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| lamellae | free to subadnate, whitish; lamellulae attenuate. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| stipe | pulverulent above; partial veil membranous, with granulose edge; universal veil scaly-floccose, grayish-greenish blue. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| basidia | 37 - 52 × 10.8 - 14.0 µm, 4-sterigmate; no clamps observed. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| basidiospores | [45/1/1] (9.1-) 10.1 - 14.0 (-15.0) × 6.6 - 9.8 (-10.1) µm, (L = 12.1 µm; W = 8.1 µm; Q = (1.21-) 1.25 - 1.80 (-1.85); Q = 1.49), hyaline, colorless, smooth, thin-walled, amyloid, ellipsoid to elongate, occasionally broadly ellipsoid, often adaxially flattened, occasionally expanded at one end; apiculus sublateral; contents guttulate; ?? in deposit. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| discussion |
This possible taxon (if it proves distinct) would be the only one in the genus Amanita other than A. pelioma that can exhibit a blue-green color in its volval material (usually on the stipe). Hence, it is of interest to see a comparison of the sporographs of the two "taxa," below. | ||||||||||||||||||||

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.
