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 is based on molecular studies of Dr. K. W. Hughes and other original research of R. E. Tulloss. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
odor/taste | neither recorded. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
macrochemical tests |
none recorded. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
basidiospores | [31/2/2] (6.4-) 6.5 - 8.0 (-10.0) × (4.5-) 4.6 - 5.6 (-6.9) μm, (L = 7.1 μm; L' = 7.1 μm; W = 5.2 μm; W' = 5.2 μm; Q = (1.25-) 1.29 - 1.50 (-1.60); Q = 1.37 - 1.40; Q' = 1.38), ??, ??, smooth, thin-walled, amyloid, dominantly ellipsoid, infrequently broadly ellipsoid, usually adaxially flattened; apiculus sublateral, cylindric; contents ??; ?? in deposit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ecology | Missouri: In deciduous forest with Quercus (Oak) and Fagus grandifolia (American Beech). Pennsylvania: Solitary. At ca. 430 m elev. In wooded area dominated by Carya ovata (Shagbark Hickory) with some Juglans nigra (Black Walnut). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

discussion | Both of the specimens from which spores were measured were over mature when dried. Moreover, RET 548-10 did not dry well. In consequence, the sample of spore data is not only small, but probably understates the dimensions of the spores. Possibly, values of Q computed from the spores are lower than they will be when data is available from spore prints or gills of material that is mature, but not over-mature. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
