This is the first record of A. muscaria (L. ex Fr.) Hooker basidiocarps in the center of Argentina in association with Cedrus deodara (Roxb) Loud. Morphological and anatomical characteristics of the mycorrhizal association between A. muscaria and C. deodara are described and illustrated for the first time. The ectomycorrhizae is characterized by the presence of simple to dichotomous branches, few emanating hyphae and a white mantle with abundant soil particles with three layers, the plectenquimatic outer layer characterized by a ring-like arrangement.
