This text is derived from the original
description of Amanita pinophila. The
fruiting bodies of Amanita pinophila
are small to medium-sized.
cap
The cap is 35 – 65 mm wide, plano-convex to
planar, white, brownish to brown. The
volva is present as fluffy, white,
brownish to brown remnants. The cap’s
margin is radially grooved covering 10% - 20% of
the cap's radius and is non- or slightly
appendiculate. The flesh is white.
gills
The gills are free, crowded, and white,
but become grayish, gray-brown, brownish
to brown when dried. The short gills are
mostly truncate and plentiful.
stem
The stem is 45 – 70 × 4 – 15 mm, nearly cylindrical
or narrowing upwards, white, brownish to
brown, and is covered with fluffy to fibrous,
concolorous squamules. The stem lacks a
basal bulb. At the stem's base, the volva
is saccate, 20 – 30 × 20 – 40 mm, membranous,
its outer surface is white, brownish to brown,
and its inner surface is brownish to brown. The
ring hangs from a region 20 – 40 mm below
the stem's top and is fluffy, white and fragile.
odor/taste
The odor and taste were not recorded for the present
species.
spores
The spores measure 10.0 – 12.0 × 5.5 – 7.0 µm and
are elongate and amyloid. There are no clamps
at the bases of basidia.
