| name | Amanita sp-NFL02 |
| name status | cryptonomen temporarium |
| author | Tulloss |
| english name | "Andrus’ pinky." |
| cap | The cap is cream with faint pinkish and faint sordid tints away from the center, with the center region pale brownish orange, and with marginal striations having lengths of about 20-25% of the cap radius. |
| stem | The stem is decorated with a mixture of orangish white fibers in a "chevron" or "snake skin" pattern on the upper half and with orangish white shreds of felted material in the quarter of the stem just below the stem's midpoint. |
| spores | The spores measure (9.4-) 10.3 - 12.2 × (8.2-) 9.2 - 10.9 (-22.0) µm and are subglobose to broadly ellipsoid (infrequently globose) and inamyloid. Clamp information t.b.d. |

The collection on which the possible taxon is based
occurs with Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea),
Alder Alnus, and Juniper
Juniperus. Compare to material collected in Maine and Massachusetts and given the provisional name A. homolalittenii. See also Amanita fulva as represented by North American data. The latter can occur with a dominantly white basidiome.—R. E. Tulloss |

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 derived from original research of R. E. Tulloss. | ||||||||||||||||||||

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.
