This temporarily numbered entity is based on material in DAOM that was collected in 1954 at Crater Lake, Labrador (92 - 96 km southwest of Saglek).
cap
The cap of entity was described as silvery gray and 15 - 30 mm wide.&mbsp; The cap margin may become yellowish with age.
gills
The gills are rounded at the cap margin and whitish to light tan to pinkish tan.
stem
The stem is 5 - 10 mm thick, exannulate, white above, and gray below. At the stem base, the volva breaks up into small patches or large warts.
spores
The spores measure (9.3-) 9.8 - 12.3 (-13.2) × (8.5-) 8.6 - 11.0 (-12.5) µm and are subglobose to broadly ellipsoid and inamyloid. Clamp information t.b.d.
discussion
The collection on which this temporary code item occured in dense moss on "coarse ground moraine," at about 610 m elevation in Labrador.
Compare to the better documented Amanita sp-NFL10.—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 derived from original research of R. E. Tulloss.
[40/2/2] (9.3-) 9.8 - 12.3 (-13.2) × (8.5-) 8.6 - 11.0 (-12.5) µm, (L = 10.5 - 11.7 µm; L’ = 11.1 µm; W = 9.6 - 10.4 µm; W’ = 10.0 µm; Q = 1.05 - 1.22 (-1.25); Q = 1.10 - 1.13; Q’ = 1.11), hyaline, colorless to pale yellow, thin-walled, smooth, inamyloid, subglobose to broadly ellipsoid, adaxially flattened, occasionally expanded at one end; apiculus sublateral, cylindric, prominent; contents mono- to multiguttulate; color in deposit unknown.
ecology
Solitary,. At 600± m elev. In wet area of coarse ground moraine or in moss at margin of lake.

Information to support the viewer in reading the content of "technical" tabs
can be found here.
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.
