As the parts within develop, the volva ruptures in its upper part, the stem elongates and carries upward the cap, while the remains of the volva surrounds the base of the stem in the form of a cup.
There are also variations in the way in which the volva is ruptured, as well as in the character of the stem.
When the volva first breaks at the apex, it reveals the point of the cap with its beautiful red color and in contrast with the white volva makes quite a pretty plant, but with advancing age the red or orange red fades to a yellow.
The ring and volva are both wanting in this genus.
It has seldom any distinct evidence of a volva at the base but abundant evidence on the cap.
The volva soon breaking up, forming several ring-like ridges on the stem.
Sometimes in small and inferior plants the color of both stem and gills is nearly white, and if the volva is not distinct it is difficult to distinguish it from the fly mushroom, which is very poisonous.

The name volva is particularly given to that part of the universal veil which remains around the base of the stem, either sheathing it or appressed closely to it, or in torn fragments.
There is only one genus that has both volva and ring.
The volva around the base of the stem is formed by the splitting or bursting of the veil, and its different modes of rupture mark the several species.

The volva and ring, or annulus, are not always present in mushrooms.
A part of thevolva remains as a sheath at the base of the stem.

In the very young plant the volva split transversely (in a circumscissile fashion) quite clearly, and the free limb is quite short and distant from the stem on the margin of the saucer-like bulb.
The volva and annulus are absent in this genus, the spores are rosy, the gills adnate to sinuate or adnexed, easily separating from the stem in some species.
But when the volva is thinner and of a looser texture, it splits transversely about the middle, circumscissile, and all or a large part of the upper half of the volva then clings to the cap, and is separated into patches.
These are formed by the splitting of the outer veil or volva, and form the remnants of the volvapresent on the base of the stem.
Mature plants showing volva at base; elongated receptacle, cap at the top, and veil surrounding the receptacle under the cap (natural size).
Sometimes thin portions of the volva are caught, and remain on the surface of the pileus.
The volva is often yellowish, so that the warts on the pileus are also yellow, and sometimes the only remnants of the volva on the base of the stem are yellow or orange particles.

The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "volva" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
