Technical description [draft PDF, 140 KB ] BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The cap of A. subnupides is 30 - 80 mm wide, conic at first, becoming convex, mat, with a striate margin. It is relatively pale orange and slightly more intensely colored over disc. The volva is absent. The gills are free, subcrowded, and whitish. Short gills are infrequent. The stem is white or very pale, fragile, exannulate, hollow. The sac-like volva is white, membranous, thin, tall, and persistent. The spores measure (6.2-) 8.9 - 12.2 (-18.1) x (5.5-) 7.5 - 10.4 (-13.2) µm and are subglobose to broadly ellipsoid (rarely globose or ellipsoid or narrower) and inamyloid. Clamps are absent from bases of basidia. A short key-fragment useful in distinguishing A. crocea (Quél. in Bourd.) Singer ex Singer , A. flavescens (E.- J. Gilbert & S. Lund.) Contu, A. romagnesiana Tulloss, and A. subnudipes -- as well as the species most phenetically similar to A. fulva (Schaeff.) Fr. is available. -- R. E.
