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 not directly from the protolog of the present taxon and not cited as the work of Dr. Z. L. Yang or another researcher is based upon original research by R. E. Tulloss. | ||||||||
pileus | 37 mm wide, white, bruising/staining reddish brown where injured; context white, staining like surface; margin nonstriate, nonappendiculate; universal veil absent in specimen reviewed. | ||||||||
lamellae | ??narrowly adnate??, close, white, staining like pileus; lamellulae ??. | ||||||||
stipe | 70 × 7 mm, white, staining like pileus, subsinuate, flaring at apex; bulb 25 × 11 mm, radicating; context white; partial veil superior, white, skirt-like, collapsing on stipe; universal veil not evident in material examined. | ||||||||
odor/taste | Odor distinctly of pear or apple. Taste not recorded. | ||||||||
macrochemical tests |
none recorded. | ||||||||
basidiospores | [20/1/1] (6.6-) 7.0 - 8.4 (-8.7) × 4.5 - 5.9 μm, (L = 7.6 μm; W = 5.1 μm; Q = (1.24-) 1.30 - 1.71; Q = 1.48), hyaline, colorless, ??smooth, thin-walled, amyloid, ellipsoid to elongate, occasionally broadly ellipsoid, ??; apiculus ??; contents ??; ?? in deposit. | ||||||||
ecology | Solitary. Near Quercus in sandy soil. | ||||||||
material examined | U.S.A.: TEXAS—Hardin Co. - Big Thicket Nat. Pres., Lance Rosier Unit, 25.x.1986 Kate Hanna s.n. [Tulloss 10-25-86-K] (RET 467-9). | ||||||||
discussion |
So far as we know at present, this is only only rubescent taxon for which there is reported a distinctive, fruit-like odor. Note: Does this material comprise a depauperate specimen of Amanita maryaliceae? This seems unlikely because the latter has never been recorded as bruising. Note: It will also be necessary to compare this material with A. novinupta and A. rubescens var. alba and other white, rubescent taxa found by molecular studies. | ||||||||

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.
