Amanita franchetii

Cuticle filamentous, composed of hyphae little or not at all separated by gelification, interwoven and without clamp connections.

Cheilocystidia very abundant, rendering the lamellar edge virtually sterile, spherical to pyriform, of highly variable sizes, virtually hyaline.

Basidia clavate, somewhat widened at the tip, 4-spored.

Spores ellipsoidal, smooth-walled, with faint granular content inside, a lateral apiculus, and amyloid in Melzer's reagent.
