This species is known from a dried collection accompanied by a photograph. These were sent to RET by Emily Johnson.
cap
The cap is pale yellow (almost citrine) and has short marginal striations. The volva is present as submembranous patches.
gills
No information about the gills of this mushroom have been developed.
stem
The stem is exannulate and bear a flap of volval tissue on its bulb.
odor/taste
There is no information about the odor of this mushroom.
spores
The spores measure (8.4-) 9.1 - 10.5 (-11.2) × (5.6-) 5.9 - 6.6 (-7.3) μm and are ellipsoid to elongate and inamyloid. Clamps are probably absent from the bases of basidia.
discussion
This gemmatoid mushroom was collected at Presque Isle State Park in Erie County, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. and, apparently, is only known from that location. No ecological information is available.
The collection labeled A. sp-N08 is one of those that must be investigated in coming to an understanding of A. russuloides.—R. E. Tulloss

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 by R. E. Tulloss.
pileus
?? mm wide, pale yellow (almost citrine), ??; context ??; margin short striate in exsiccata; universal veil as submembranous patches.
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.
