| intro |
This description is based largely on that of Bas (1969). |
| cap |
The cap of Amanita inodora is about 30 - 60 mm wide, convex to plano-convex, white, dry, appendiculate, with a nonsulcate margin. The cap is covered with very thin, inconspicuous, adnate, submembranous-felted to subpulverulent, small to rather large patches, or a more or less continuous, thin crust. |
| gills |
The gills are crowded, narrowly adnate, adnexed or free, and white. The short gills are obliquely truncate. |
| stem |
The stem is short, about 35 - 55 × 10 - 16 mm, solid, white, exannulate, and without distinct remnants of volva (in the material seen by Bas). The stipe has a pronounced marginate bulb that is obovoid to napiform (about 20 - 30 × 15 - 25 mm). There is also a fluffy annular zone near the apex or near the middle, but no membranous annulus. |
| odor/taste |
The fruiting body is odorless. |
| spores |
The spores measure (11-) 11.5 - 13.5 (-15.5) × 3.5 - 4.5 (-5) µm and are amyloid. Clamps are not found at bases of basidia. |
| discussion |
Amanita inodora was originally described from Florida, U.S.A. in association with oak and in mixed woods. Coker collected the species in South Carolina. Bas placed this species in his stirps Roanokensis (see A. roanokensis Coker. |

| 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 text is derived from the revision of Bas (1969). | ||||||||

Spore data sets and their composite
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.
