This recently described subspecies is a relatively common mushroom in the
Hawaiian Islands, found nearly everywhere Eucalyptus ,Melaleuca  and Casuarina
grow.  The species belongs in subgen. Lepidella , sect. Phalloideae  and most likely
has the cyclopeptide toxins found in all other tested members of the section.  In all
probability, A. marmorata  is a deadly species.  For those mycophagists interested in
harvesting Hawaiian mushrooms, this is the one species you must learn and avoid
ingesting at all costs.  The pileus ranges from pure white to greyish and marmorate,
the lamellae are always white, and the stipe shows a membranous annulus (which
may disappear at maturity) and a thick, white, saccate volva.  It should be carefully
compared with Volvariella speciosa , a species commonly eaten in the Hawaiian
Islands.  For a description of A. marmorata  see Miller et al., Mycologia 88: 140-145,
1996.
