Scattered under
Coccoloba uvifera
in coastal vegetation.
Identification.
This species can be recognized by the grey pileus with white patches that are the remains of the volva, white and free lamellulae, a whitish pileus sometimes with conspicuous white scales on the base, the small saccate volva, which sometimes remains underground, and the ellipsoid basidiospores of 8–10 × 6–8 µm. Our specimen from
Quintana Roo
agrees with the description provided by
Miller et al. (2000)
, but it presents slightly shorter spores.
Amanita agluttinata
(Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Lloyd
is a similar species but differs by the presence of a ring on the stipe (
Pegler 1983
).
