BRIEF DESCRIPTION: (t.b.d.)

The spores measure (5.8-) 6.8 - 10.5 (-11.8) x (4.0-) 4.8 - 6.5 (-7.8) µm and are mostly ellipsoid to elongate (a few are broadly ellipsoid or cylindric) and amyloid. Clamps are not found at the base of basidia.

This species is known to occur in association with pine, fir, beech, and chinkapin.

The species was originally described from Japan and is now known from China (Yunnan Prov.).

In Asia, see also A. clarisquamosa (S. Imai) S. Imai in E. J. Gilbert, and A. duplex Corner & Bas. Many references to A. volvata (Peck) Lloyd in the Asian literature refer to one or both of the two species originally named by Imai. -- R. E. Tulloss
