Volvariella bombycina

Ciri dan struktur

The fruit bodies are initially enclosed by a universal veil. The caps are initially oval, becoming bell-shaped to convex, and sometimes nearly flat in old age; they measure 5–20 cm wide. The cap is white to yellowish, more pale at the margin, dry and covered with silky threads. The flesh is thin, soft, and white, and has an odor resembling raw potatoes. The gills are crowded close together, free from attachment to the stem, and initially white before turning pinkish as the spores mature. The stem is 6–20 cm long and 1–3 cm thick, typically tapered upward or thickened below. It is white, smooth, and often slightly curved. The universal veil is membranous, often areolate (cracked into irregularly shaped blocks) or scaly, and forms a long, saclike volva that wraps around the base of the stem. It is white to yellowish or dingy brown, and often divided into lobes. The variety V. bombycina var. flaviceps is distinguished from the main form by its smaller, bright yellow caps, up to 3.5 cm in diameter, and its dirty-white, scaly volva. Murrill also noted that it developed a "peculiar sickening odor during drying". V. bombycina var. microspora has smaller spores (6–7.5 by 4–5 μm), a yellow cap, and a blotched brown volva. V. bombycina var. palmicola also has a yellow cap and small spores (5.9–7.5 by 4.3–5.4 μm), but can be distinguished from the previous varieties by its distantly spaced gills. Mushrooms produce a spore print with a color ranging from pinkish to salmon. The spores are elliptical, smooth, and measure 6.5–10 by 4.5–6.5 μm. The basidia (spore-bearing cells) are club-shaped, four-spored, and measure 19–43 by 6–11 μm.
