intro
This text is derived from the original
description of Amanita pseudopantherina.
The fruiting bodies of Amanita pseudopantherina
are medium-sized to large.
cap
The cap of the present species is 35 – 120 mm
wide, plano-convex to planar, and brownish,
yellow-brown to brown. The volva is present
as pyramidal to subconical, bumpy, dirty
white to white remnants. The cap’s margin is
slightly grooved for about 30% of the radius.
There is no material hanging from the margin.
The flesh is white.
gills
The gills are free, crowded, and white.
The short gills are truncate and plentiful.
stem
The stem is 65 – 160 × 7–15 mm, subcylindric
to narrowing upwards; its surface is white,
covered with fluffy scales of the same color.
The stem's basal bulb is 10 – 30 mm wide,
globose to subglobose. The volva is present
as fluffy, white remnants arranged in belts
on the lower part of stem and often forms a
short "rolled sock" at the top of the bulb.
The ring hangs from a point 20 – 40 mm below the stem's
top and is white to yellowish with a brownish
to brown edge.
odor/taste
The odor and taste of this species were not recorded.
spores
The spores measure 9.5 – 12.0 × 8.0 – 10.0 µm
and are mostly broadly ellipsoid, occasionally
subglobose or ellipsoid and inamyloid.
Clamps at the bases of basidia are rare or absent.
discussion
In China, A. pseudopantherina is similar to
A. parvipantherina
Zhu L. Yang et al.,
A. subglobosa
Zhu L. Yang and
A. subparvipantherina
Zhu L. Yang et al.
However, A. parvipantherina has a
relatively smaller and more slender fruiting
body and relatively narrower spores
[Q = (1.13-) 1.22 - 1.54 (-1.62)]. Amanita subglobosa
can be distinguished from
A. pseudopantherina by its relatively
darker colored cap and the common
presence of clamps. Amanita subparvipantherina
possesses narrower spores
[Q = (1.20–) 1.28–1.5 (–1.69)]. Microscopic
review indicates the ratio of inflated cells to
hyphae in the volva on the cap is clearly greater in
A. subparvipantherina than in the present
species.—Yang-Yang Cui and Rachel Warner
