cap |
The cap of A. subnupides is 30 - 80 mm wide, conic at first, becoming convex, mat, with a striate margin. It is relatively pale orange and slightly more intensely colored over disc. The volva is absent. |
gills |
The gills are free, subcrowded, and whitish. Short gills are infrequent. |
stem |
The stem is white or very pale, fragile, exannulate, hollow. The sac-like volva is white, membranous, thin, tall, and persistent. |
spores | The spores measure (6.2-) 8.9 - 12.2 (-18.1) × (5.5-) 7.5 - 10.4 (-13.2) µm and are subglobose to broadly ellipsoid (rarely globose or ellipsoid or narrower) and inamyloid. Clamps are absent from bases of basidia. |
discussion | A short key-fragment useful in distinguishing A. crocea (Quél. in Bourd.) Singer exSinger, A. flavescens (E.- J. Gilbert & S. Lund.) Contu, A. romagnesiana Tulloss, and A. subnudipes—as well as the species most phenetically similar to A. fulva (Schaeff.) Fr. is available.—R. E. Tulloss |

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 derived from the protolog of the present species and from original research of R. E. Tulloss. | ||||||||

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.
