Due to delays in data processing at GenBank, some accession numbers may lead to unreleased (pending) pages.
These pages will eventually be made live, so try again later.
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 information and images
from the collector, molecular research of Dr. L. V. Kudzma
and other original research of R. E. Tulloss.
pileus
48 mm± wide, yellow tan over disc, with disc
encircled by irregular and somewhat mottled
brown zone, yellow tan outside darker zone, campanulate
at first, not having pronounced umbo, shiny when moist;
context 6± mm thick over stipe, white,
unchanging
when cut or bruised; margin nonappendiculate,
striate (0.6±R), universal veil absent.
lamellae
free without decurrent tooth on stipe, white in mass, white
in side view, unchanging when cut or bruised, 7± mm broad;
lamellulae ??.
stipe
195± × 13± mm, white, possibly
staining red-brown to tan from handling (per photo),
??; context
white, unchanging when cut or bruised, stuffed with
cottony material; exannulate; universal veil
?? × 23± mm.
odor/taste
Odor lacking. Taste not discernible.
macrochemical tests
none recorded.
partial veil
absent.
lamella edge tissue
sterile.
ecology
Solitary. In dark loam over rock and red clay
in mixed harwood-coniferous forest dominated by
Quercus and Carya (commonly
Q. stellata
and C. glabra) with sparsely scattered
Pinus echinata.
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.
