Mushroom #3
Pictures
Habit

Whole body

Gills

Cap

Spores in water x1000


Same in Melzer's x1000


Description 1.Cap: diameter: 9 cm; plane, uplifted margin; dry, smooth; white greenish. 2.Gills: free; crowded; white. 3.Stalk: 13 x 1.5; central; equal; basal bulb; white. 4.Veil: no info. 5.Spores and spore print: white, cream white in deposit; 5 – 8 um; globose/subglobose; amyloid; clustered(?). 6.Habit: grows in moss; nearby trees: predominantly conifers (pines); grouping: singe/groups. 7.Other: Western Lithuania, August 20, 2013.
All three mushrooms (bodies, caps, spore prints)



I believe they are: #1: A. fulva; #2: Destroying Angel, A. virosa; #3: Deathcap, A. Phalloides or Jewelled Amanita, A. gemmata
While I'm pretty sure about the first two, I don't really know how to distinguish the last two. Also, spore characteristics (size and shape) do not match those of Deathcap or Jewelled Amanita described in Philips (2006).
Thanks a lot!

1. is A. fulva, going by morphological characteristics only.

Oh, haven't considered A. citrina. Now everything matches. Thanks!
