| intro |
The following text may make multiple use of each data field. The field may contain magenta text presenting data from a type study and/or revision of other original material cited in the protolog of the present taxon. Macroscopic descriptions in magenta are a combination of data from the protolog and additional observations made on the exiccata during revision of the cited original material. The same field may also contain black text, which is data from a revision of the present taxon (including non-type material and/or material not cited in the protolog). Paragraphs of black text will be labeled if further subdivision of this text is appropriate. 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 description below is based on the transciption of the protolog by H. V. Smith (1945). Smith states she reviewed no material for her description. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| pileus | Smith (1945): 50–75 mm wide, alutaceous inclining to tawny, faintly darker over umbo, convex or expanded, subumbonate, with surface smooth or obscurely spotted or scaly from the rupturing of the universal veil; context not described; margin not described; gluten layer present. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| lamellae | Smith (1945): free, crowded, whitish or yellowish, sometimes forked; lamellulae not described. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| stipe | Smith (1945): 50–70 × ca. 6 mm, cylindric or narrowing upward, smooth in apical region, viscid below partial veil; bulb not described; context stuffed or hollow; partial veil obsolete, floccose; gluten layer probably as sheath. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| odor/taste | not recorded. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| macrochemical tests |
none described. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| pileipellis | probably absent. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| lamella edge tissue | fertile?? | ||||||||||||||||||||
| basidiospores | Smith (1945): [-/-/-] 5 – 6 × 3 – 4 µm, (est. Q’ = 1.57), smooth, hyaline, colorless. [Note: Data does not permit estimation of a range of Q; hence, no sporograph can be generated.] | ||||||||||||||||||||

| discussion | H.V. Smith says this species is close to, if not a synonym of, L. floridana. However, the spores of the two species differ in both size and shape, according to Smith’s data; and she describes the partial veils in different terms. | ||||||||||||||||||||

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.
