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 derived from photographs and
notes of the collector, molecular research of Dr. L. V.
Kudzma and other original research of R. E. Tulloss.
pileus
?? mm wide, campanluate at first, dark gray-brown, with
small pallid spots at least at first;
context white; margin striate (ca. 0.35R at
first); universal veil at first apparently leaving
thin translucent filmy layer over central region.
peridium
double click in markup mode to edit.
lamellae

stipe
?? ×
?? mm, white, narrowing upward, longitudinally striatulate;
context white; exannulate;
universal veil as saccate volva, white, with
scattered reddish brown stains on exterior, with
short white submembranous-floccose limbus internus
enclosing base of stipe.
In the field, the Canadian collection was originally
thought to
be similar to A.
subnigra.
The spores of this species are reportedly subglobose
to broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid making it possible
that it could be mistaken for A. rooseveltensis.

Information to support the viewer in reading the content of "technical" tabs
can be found here.
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.
