The cap of Amanita parvipantherina is 35 - 60 mm wide, convex to plano-convex, nonappendiculate, and having a tuberculate-striate margin. The cap is grayish to ochraceous, becoming brown to brownish over disc. The flesh is white. The volva is present in conical, subconical to granular, dirty white to grayish to yellowish remnants. |
gills |
The gills are free, white, and crowded. The short gills are truncate. |
stem |
The stem is 40 - 90 × 5 - 10 mm, subcylindric, and white. The stem bears a weakly structured pallid annulus. The volva is distributed over the stem in granular, dirty white to yellowish to grayish remnants. |
spores |
The spores measure 8.5 -11.5 × 6.5 - 8.5 µm and are broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid and inamyloid. Clamps are not present at the bases of basidia. |
discussion |
The species occurs on soil in mixed forests with Pine (Pinus). It fruits from July to August in Yunnan Prov., southwestern China, at 1200-2500 m elev. For species to compare within the "A. pantherina group," see the discussion of A. pantherina (DC. : Fr.) Krombh.—Zhu L. Yang |

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 derived entirely from the protolog of the present taxon. NOTE: Spore data from papers by Z. L. Yang are presented following his use of the "Times New Roman" face for "Q" and "Q'"—respectively, " | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

discussion |
from protolog: "Amanita parvipantherina is a member of Amanita [subgenus Amanita] section Amanita (Yang 1997). A few collections cited above were regarded incorrectly as A. pantherina (DC. : Fr.) Krombh., but the latter has more robust basidiocarps with shorter striations on the pileal margin, a short limbate collar on the stipe base and more abundant filamentous hyphae in the white volval remnants on the pileus (Breitenbach and Kränzlin 1995; Yang 1997, unpublished data of Yang studying material from the Netherlands [THE NETHERLANDS: ZUID-HOLLAND—Wassenaar, 2.ix.1979 C. Bas 7474 (L)]). Amanita parvipantherina is similar to A. sychnopyramis f. subannulata Hongo (Hongo 1971) [on this site treated as A. kwangsiensis Y. C. Wang—ed.], but differs from the latter by its somewhat smaller basidiocarps with a superior annulus and larger, broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores. The basidiospores of A. sychnopyramis f. subannulata are mostly globose to subglobose, (6.0-) 6.5 - 8.5 (-9.5) × 6.0 - 8.0 (-9.0) µm, ( | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
