Amanita flavorubens
6/19/07
Shrewsbury MA

White gills but the partial veil remained with the cap rather than the stem.

Bulbous stem as if Amanita.

  Close-up of bulb.  Looks like stem stained redish-brown where handled.

Spores elliptical, almost round.  Spores measured 9.6 by 6.7 μm

Note that something is sticking out from some of them.  Look at the top most spore, then the one directly below it and the upper right.  Help from Clive Shirley, in New Zealand, in giving a name to these things as apiculus or Hilar Appendage.  "This is the point were it was attached to the basidia."
