intro |
The following is largely based on the original description (Wood 1997). |
cap |
The cap of Amanita striatuloides is up to 40 mm wide, convex then plane or slightly depressed, smooth, dry, dull cream to yellowish cream, paler in the outer portions, with a strongly striate margin. The volval remains on the cap are flat, fairly thin, membranous patches, white to yellowish cream. |
gills |
Gills are free, thin, crowded, white to pale pinkish. |
stem |
The stem is up to 60 × 7 mm, off-white to pale cream, smooth, with a slightly clavate base. The base is white to off-white, with a ring of volval remnants (sometimes scaly) on the upper portion of the clavate base. No ring is present. |

spores |
The spores measure 8.7 - 10.2 × 7.5 - 9.3 µm and are globose to subglobose and inamyloid. Clamps are absent at bases of basidia. |
discussion |
Wood based his description on two specimens from sclerophyll forests in the state of Queensland, Australia. A sclerophyll forest in the Australian bush is a forest of hard-leaved plants including Eucalyptus in the overstory (wikipedia). Wood suggests A. striatuloides is similar to his A. crematelloides A. E. Wood; however, the latter species has a pulverulent universal veil.—R. E. Tulloss and L. Possiel |

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 based entirely on the protolog of this species, which does not meet contemporary standards for Amanita taxonomy. | ||||||||

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.
