This text is derived from the original description of
Amanita flavopantherina.
The fruiting bodies of Amanita flavopantherina
are medium-sized to large.
cap
The cap of the present species is 50 – 130 mm wide,
plano-convex to planar, yellow-brown, brown to
dark brown, often darker at center.
The volva is present as pyramidal or cone-like warts
that are bumpy and yellowish.
The cap’s margin bears short grooves that
occupy less than 10% of the cap's radius. The cap
margin has no material hanging from the edge.
The flesh is white to yellowish. [Note;
Illustration in the protolog
indicates the color of the warts fades to whitish on
exposure.—ed.]
gills
The gills are free, crowded, and white.
The short gills are truncate and plentiful.
stem
The stem is 80 – 230 × 10 – 35 mm,
subcylindric to narrowing upwards;
its surface is white to yellowish,
often covered with
floccose scales of the same color.
The stem's basal bulb
is 15 – 35 mm wide, subglobose to spindle-shaped.
The volva is present as floccose, white to
yellowish remnants, or forms a short "rolled sock"
at the top of the bulb. The ring hangs from
a region 15 – 40 mm below the stem's top and is
white to yellowish with a yellow to brown edge.
odor/taste
The odor and taste of this species were not recorded.
spores
The spores measure 10.0 – 12.0 × 8.0 – 10.0 µm
and are broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid
and inamyloid.
Clamps are common at bases of basidia.
discussion
Amanita flavopantherina occurs in
subalpine forests dominated by Fir (Abies)
and Spruce (Picea),
and fruits from summer to autumn in southwestern
China.
Amanita flavopantherina can be confused with
A. pantherina
(DC.) Krombh. and A. pakistanica
Tulloss et al. However, A. pantherina has
narrower spores [Q = (1.20–) 1.27–1.60 (–2.04)] and
no clamps. Amanita pakistanica
has an umbonate cap covered with patchy or flaky,
white, easily lost volval remnants, and relatively
narrower spores [Q = (1.16-) 1.25 -
1.69 (-1.97)].—Yang-Yang Cui and Rachel Warner.
