intro | Amanita parcivolvata is a very common species of the southeastern U.S.A., occurring at least as far north as the Atlantic coastal plain in northeastern New Jersey. |
cap | Its 30 - 70 mm wide cap is scarlet and has a strongly striate margin. The volva is distributed over the cap as powdery, yellow to pale yellow warts. |
gills | The free gills are yellow in mass and white in side view. The short gills are truncate. |
stem | The stipe is 20 - 43 × 10 - 13 mm, has no annulus and is covered with yellow, powdery remains of the volva. There is a 20 - 15 × 15 - 20 mm bulb at the stipe base. |
odor/taste | Neither an odor nor a taste is recorded for this species. |
spores | The spores measure (8.4-) 9.1 - 11.5 (-12.6) × (5.6-) 6.3 - 7.9 (-8.0) µm and are broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid to elongate and inamyloid. Clamps are rare at bases of basidia. |
discussion |
The species is associated primarily with oaks and pines. It bears some similarities to bright-colored, ringless species of Amanita sect. Amanita such as A. xanthocephala (Berk.) D. A. Reid & Hilton and A. aurantiovelata Schalkwijk & G. M. Jansen.—R. E. Tulloss |

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 not directly from the protolog of the present taxon and not cited as the work of another researcher is based on original research by R. E. Tulloss. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

discussion | It is extremely abnormal for clamps to be reported from tissues other than at the bases of basidia when no basidial clamps are reported. Recent material should be revised to check Jenkins' observation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
