Observation: Amanita elongata Peck (23811)
About Amanita elongata Peck
Draft for Wild Mushrooms of the Northeastern United States by Herbert Baker (private)
When: 2009-08-01
Collection location: Lackawanna Co., Pennsylvania, USA [Click for map]
Who: Dave in NE PA
Herbarium specimen available

Notes: Caps show virtually no volval warts. Hanging ring with yellow fringe. No brown staining on basal bulb. Basal bulb on smaller specimen has root about half a cm long. Cap margin not striate or only fainlty so for 2-3 mm. Basal bulb with yellow grains of volval material buried over an inch in mulchy needle duff. Under conifers, forested plot of mainly Norway Spruce. Spores elliptical to ovoid. I almost always see lots of A. flavoconia at this time of year, but these seem somehow different…? Maybe the lighter color than typical? Lack of warts on cap?

Summary: spores should be narrower

Spores should have higher length:width ratio than in flavoconia.
