  • cap

    The cap of A. subnupides is 30 - 80 mm wide, conic at first, becoming convex, mat, with a striate margin. It is relatively pale orange and slightly more intensely colored over disc. The volva is absent.

    gills

    The gills are free, subcrowded, and whitish. Short gills are infrequent.

    stem

    The stem is white or very pale, fragile, exannulate, hollow. The sac-like volva is white, membranous, thin, tall, and persistent.

    spores The spores measure (6.2-) 8.9 - 12.2 (-18.1) × (5.5-) 7.5 - 10.4 (-13.2) µm and are subglobose to broadly ellipsoid (rarely globose or ellipsoid or narrower) and inamyloid. Clamps are absent from bases of basidia.
