This text is derived from the original
description of Amanita parvicurta. The
fruiting bodies of Amanita parvicurta are small.
cap
The cap is 30 – 60 mm wide, plano-convex to
planar, white to dirty white,
and often brownish in the center. The volva
is present as fluffy to patchy, white,
dirty white to brownish remnants, which can
easily fall away. The cap’s margin is radially
grooved for 20% of the
cap's radius and has some material
hanging from its edge. The
flesh is white.
gills
The gills are free, crowded, and white,
but become grayish, gray-brown, brownish
to brown when dried. The short gills are
mostly truncate and plentiful.
stem
The stem is 60 – 80 × 5 – 10 mm, nearly cylindrical
or narrowing upwards, white to dirty white,
covered with furfuraceous, white
squamules. The stem lacks a basal bulb. At
the stem's base, the volva is saccate,
20 – 30 × 15 – 20 mm, membranous, its outer surface
is white, dirty white to brownish, and its inner surface
is dirty white. The ring is fugacious.
odor/taste
The odor and taste were not recorded for the present species.
spores
The spores measure 9.0 – 11.0 × 5.0 – 6.0 µm
and are elongate, sometimes cylindrical
and amyloid. There are no clamps at the bases
of basidia.
