name | Amanita crematelloides |
name status | nomen acceptum |
author | A. E. Wood |
english name | "Wood's Cream Amanita" |
intro |
The description is largely based on the original description (Wood 1997). |
cap |
The cap of A. crematelloides is up to 40 mm wide, convex to flat convex, finally plane or a little depressed at the center, smooth, dry, with a margin striate up to one-third of cap's radius, pallid cream to pale cream-gray, center sometimes a little deeper colored. Volva remains on the cap are thin, mealy or granular; and concolorous with the surface or a little darker; occasionally, there are vague warts over irregular areas. |
gills |
Gills are free, thin, crowded, pale cream, with a concolorous margin, sometimes slightly serrate. The short gills are present in at least one series. |
stem |
The stem is up to 40 × 5 mm, white, smooth, without any trace of a ring. The basal bulb is small, ovoid, cream-gray, with distinct small, mealy ridge or distinct margin at the top, but no free limb. |
spores |
The spores measure (6.6-) 7.2 - 9.0 (-9.9) × (6.0-) 6.6 - 8.4 (-9.3) µm and are subglobose to broadly ellipsoid and inamyloid. Clamps are absent at bases of basidia. |
discussion |
Wood described this species as occurring in sclerophyll forests in the state of New South Wales, Australia. A sclerophyll forest in the Australian bush is a forest of hard-leaved plants including Eucalyptus in the overstory (wikipedia). This species is similar in macroscopic form, spore size, absence of clamps, and dull grayish tints to the group of species associated with Amanita farinosa Schwein.—R. E. Tulloss and L. Possiel |

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 material is based entirely on the protolog of this species, which does not meet contemporary standards for Amanita taxonomy. | ||||||||

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.
