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 text is based on original research of R. E. Tulloss. |
pileus |
26.5 mm wide, brown, unchanging when cut or bruised, convex, dry, dull; context white, unchanging when cut or bruised, with a watery line under the pileipellis, 2 mm thick at stipe, thinning evenly for one half to two-thirds of radius, then a membrane to margin; margin decurved, striate (0.4R), nonappendiculate; universal veil as small patches, whitish, becoming fulvous, fibrillose-felted (lens), membranous, detersile. |
lamellae |
free, without decurrent line on stipe apex, close, somewhat orangish cream in mass, cream in side view, 3.5 mm broad; lamellulae truncate, plentiful, of diverse lengths, unevenly distributed. |
stipe |
31 × 3.5 mm, white, becoming faintly brownish from handling, cylindric, flaring at apex, smooth to minutely fibrillose above (lens), with coarser fibrils (lens) below; context slightly sordid white above, pale grayish below, unchanging when cut or bruised, stuffed, with 1 mm wide central cylinder firmly packed with white fibrils; exannulate; universal veil saccate, white with fulvous stains, smooth, membranous, less than 1 mm thick at midpoint of limb, 10 × 5.5 mm, collapsing on stipe. |
