	Amanita basiorubra O
		The red coloring apparently comes from remains of a floccose-fibrillose red surface layer of the volva that may be more clearly seen on the edge of the ring and at the stem base.
		The volva is filmy, white with an outer covering of thin, red fibrils and scattered with pieces of the volva that are more apparent on the edge of the ring and near the base of the stem in age.
		The volva's double-layered nature and the inconsistency of pigmentation in even those cells of the largely red layer are too very distinctive characters.

	The staff and the song (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The volva is often described as being past her fertile years, and unlike other women she has no clan- or lineage-name.
		When the song ends, and the volva is still suspended between the worlds, she is in a state to prophesy, to divine, to answer questions about future and fate, receiving her knowledge from the spirit realm.
		The volva lets the song transport her into a shamanic state of awareness and close contact with her spirithelpers, and then she lets go in trust.

	Volvariella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Volvariella and Amanita cannot be distinguished in the early "button stage", that, for many, is considered the best stage to collect Volvariella for consumption.
		Like Amanita, the paddy straw mushroom has a volva, or universal veil, so called because it is a membrane that encapsulates the entire mushroom when it is young.
		This structure breaks apart as the mushroom expands, leaving parts that can be found at the base of the stalk as a cup-like structure.
