intro |
The following is largely based on the original description (Wood 1997). |
cap |
The cap of Amanita chlorophylla is up to 90 mm wide, convex then plane, smooth, dry, dull white to pallid cream, with a slight but distinct greenish tint, with a nonstriate and appendiculate margin. Volval remains are present as fairly large, flat, soft, membranous scales, cream to warm buff. |
gills |
The gills are free, thin, crowded, bright to grayish lime-green, with a paler to almost white edge. The short gills are present in at least one or two series. |
stem |
The stem is up to 120 × 15 mm, firm, off-white to pale green with fine fibrils covering most of it. The ring is fragile and often present in fragments, fragile, submembranous, originally skirt-like, warm buff or green, and not striate on the upper surface. The base is bulbous to ellipsoid to top-shaped, with no volva, but with warm buff colored zones on the upper portion. [Wood mentions scatters bands on the lower portion on the stem but does not state whether they represent the volva and does not provide a color for them.] |
spores |
The spores measure 9.3 - 11.4 (-11.7) × 5.4 - 6.6 (-6.9) µm and are elongate and amyloid. Clamps are frequent at bases of basidia. The spore print is said to be clearly greenish; however, the possibility that the green tint is due to deciduous material from the edge of the gills is not explored. |
discussion |
Originally described from the state of New South Wales, Australia, in association with Allocasuarina littoralis and also occuring in "tall open forests." We concur with Wood's placement of the present species in Bas' stirps Grossa. For comparison and discussion, see Amanita austroviridis O. K. Mill.

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 following material is based entirely on the protolog of this species, which does not meet contemporary standards for Amanita taxonomy. | ||||||||

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.
