The editors of this site owe a great debt to Dr. Cornelis Bas
whose famous cigar box files of Amanita nomenclatural information
gathered over three or more decades were made available to RET for computerization
and make up the lion's share of the nomenclatural information presented on this site.

Due to delays in data processing at GenBank, some accession numbers may lead to unreleased (pending) pages.
These pages will eventually be made live, so try again later.
|
| pileus |
30 - 65 mm wide, "light brown" (7D5), convex to plane,
broadly umbonate; context white,
up to 4.5 mm thick above stipe, thinning toward margin;
margin appendiculate, nonstriate, becoming
uplifted with age, occasionally splitting;
squamules "reddish brown" (8E8), appressed and
fibrillose near margin, upcurving elsewhere, sometimes
washed off by rain. |
| lamellae |
free, close, creamy white with concolorous and entire edge,
up to 9 mm broad; lamellulae of diverse lengths. |
| stipe |
40 - 70 × 4 - 8 mm, "light brown" (7D5), central,
cylindric, undecorated above annulus; base
narrowly clavate,
bearing white mycelial cords; context white,
solid; annulus superior, fragile, eventually
as indistinct zone, shown as dark in line drawing;
squamules moderately closely placed and
extending from below partial veil to near base,
"reddish brown" (8E8), recurved. |
| odor/taste |
Odor pleasant, flower-like.
Taste not recorded. |
macrochemical
tests |
none recorded. |
| pileipellis |
repent cutis. |
| pileus context |
filamentous hyphae 7.5 - 23 μm wide; clamps occasional. |
| lamella trama |
divergent from mediostratum, inamyloid; filamentous
hyphae 7.5 - 22.5 μm wide, hyaline, thin-walled. |
| subhymenium |
pseudoparenchymatous. |
| basidia |
32 - 36 × 9 - 10 μm, clavate, 4-sterigmate. |
| universal veil |
[Note: Read "squamules" for "universal
veil."—ed.]
On pileus: filamentous hyphae not described;
inflated cells in short chains (trichodermium-like),
anticlinal, grouped as tufts.
On stipe: not described. |
| stipe context |
not described. |
| partial veil |
not described. |
| lamella edge tissue |
not described. |
| basidiospores |
6 - 7.5 × 5.3 - 7.5 μm, (?)globose,
echinulate, inamyloid, lacking a germ pore.
[Note:
Without a range of Q values, a sporograph cannot be
generated. Based on the drawings of spores in the
description of Vrinda et al. (2000),
It is possible to project that spore measurements were not
consistently made in lateral view. One spore that
appears to be in lateral view (using the scale provided)
is 8.2 × 6.8 μm with Q = 1.22. Hence, the range of
spore shape is probably (?)globose to broadly
ellipsoid.—ed.] |
| ecology |

| discussion |
Vrinda et al. (2000)
reported that cystidia were lacking.
This species was originally described as Catatrama
costaricensis, but it may be a distinct species. |
