intro |
This page is in the
process of disappearing. Please excuse our
digital dust. Genetic evidence requires the subdivision of what has simply been called "rubescens" in eastern North America into a number of genetically distinct taxa. As new evidence accumulates, collection data from this pages is being moved to new pages given provisional names or temporary code names. One of the new taxa will eventually be situated here. 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 original research of R. E. Tulloss. | ||||||||
pileus | 62 - 120 mm wide, pale yellowish tan or pale tannish yellow at first, becoming pale tan, eventually with brown or umbrinous tones overall, becoming red-brown to wine red in wounds, broadly conic at first, then very broadly campanulate to subhemispheric, then planoconvex, finally planar, dull to subsatiny, tacky at first; context white, bruising pinkish to sordid pinkish and then as on pileipellis, 8 - 11 mm thick at stipe, thinning evenly to margin; margin incurved at first, then decurved, nonstriate (except rather faintly at maturity or in age), nonappendiculate; universal veil as warts and confluent warts, subpyramidal, often densely distributed, at first pallid to yellow [infrequently as intensely yellow as 3A7 (Tulloss 8-4-96-E)], becoming tan to pale brown with red-brown high points, areolate, minutely verruculose or with striate sides, fibrillose-flocculose or more compact, friable, detersile. | ||||||||
lamellae | free to narrowly adnate or narrowly adnate with short tooth, with decurrent line on stipe apex extending down to partial veil, subcrowded, off-white to pale cream to pale yellowish cream in mass, pale cream to very pale yellowish cream in side view, 8 - 10 mm broad, broadest at about mid-radius, with margin very slightly uneven, ventricose or with lower edge straight; lamellulae subtruncate to rounded truncate to attenuate, unevenly distributed, of diverse lengths, plentiful, infrequently free from both stipe and pileus margin. | ||||||||
stipe | 55 - 134 × 8 - 14 mm, whitish or pallid, bruising as on pileipellis, narrowing upward, flaring at apex or not, becoming satiny or having densely placed raised fribrils or fibrillose scales, longitudinally striatulate below partial veil, with surface sometimes breaking up into coarse recurved scales; bulb 20 - 27 × 16 - 28 mm, napiform, occasionally splitting longitudinally and then split extending up stipe; context white, staining/bruising as in pileus context, brick red or deep red-brown in larva tunnels, solid to firmly stuffed (with densely packed longitudinally fibrillose white material) to hollow, with 3.5 - 5 mm wide central cylinder; partial veil superior, membranous, occasionally rather thin, persistent, white to off-white to pale cream above, concolorous or sometimes yellow to pale yellow or yellowish pale tan below, bruising as in remainder of basidiome, subflocculose or felted-subflocculae to smooth below, rather large and skirtlike at first, then tearing and collapsing on stipe, sometimes with edge thickened with yellowish or tan universal veil material; universal veil concolorous with that on pileus, easily lost in substrate during collection. | ||||||||
odor/taste | Odor none to faintly pleansantly fungoid. Taste not recorded. | ||||||||
macrochemical tests |
Spot test for laccase (syringaldazine) - positive on bottom surface of bulb only in young basidiocme (negative elsewhere); in mature basidiome, negative throughout. Spot test for tyrosinase (paracresol) - In young basidiome, positive in pileus context only under pileipellis, on center of lamella, and in much of stipe context except for interior of bulb (negative elsewhere); in mature basidiome, positive throughout pileus context and stipe context except for interior of bulb (negative elsewhere). H2SO4 (conc.) - reddish pink on lamellae almost immediately, negative on pileipellis and in context of bulb, negative at first and then pale yellowish after 3 - 4 min. in stipe and pileus contexts; all color gone after 18 min. or less. | ||||||||
lamella trama | bilateral; wcs = 30 - 35+ µm; subhymenial base not strongly differentiated from subhymenium—with inflated cells (elongate to ellipsoid to clavate to to subglobose, thin-walled, up to 31 × 26 µm, with major axis dominantly perpendicular to central stratum) becoming reduced in size gradually from central stratum to subhymenium, with angle of divergence shallow (≤30°); filamentous, undifferentiated hyphae ? µm wide, branching, with slightly inflated intercalary segments in central stratum; divergent, terminal inflated cells not observed; vascular hyphae ? µm wide, ?. | ||||||||
subhymenium | ca. pseudoparenchymatous (cellular), although some branching relationship between cells visible, with cells in ? to ? layers, with wst-near = 25 - 50 µm and wst-far = 40? - 65 µm, with basidia arising from small inflated cells and slightly inflated short hyphal segments and slightly inflated branched cells. | ||||||||
anatomical figures | |||||||||
basidiospores | [40/2/2] (7.0-) 7.3 - 9.5 (-9.8) × (5.6-) 5.9 - 7.0 (-7.3) µm, (L = 7.9 - 9.1 µm; L’ = 8.5 µm; W = 6.4 - 6.6 µm; W’ = 6.5 µm; Q = (1.05-) 1.14 - 1.46 (-1.53); Q = 1.23 - 1.38; Q’ = 1.31), hyaline, colorless, smooth, thin-walled, amyloid, broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid, occasionally subglobose, often adaxially flattened; apiculus sublateral, cylindric; contents monoguttulate; white in deposit. | ||||||||
ecology | Solitary to subgregarious to gregarious. New Jersey: In sand of Pinus-Quercus barrens or in sandy loam of Quercus forest or in wet loam of mixed deciduous forest including Acer, Betula, Carpinus caroliniana, Carya ovata, Fagus grandifolia, Liquidambar styraciflua, and Quercus. Newfoundland & Labrador: In mixed woods dominated by conifers. Virginia: under Fraxinus in hard packed dirt. | ||||||||

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.
