During field mycological surveys conducted by the nature conservation society near Suchomasty in Český kras (Czech Karst), a number of remarkable macromycetes were found. Among them, Volvariella caesiotincta Orton 1974 was collected near Bukové mýto in May 1983, growing directly from a hardwood stump, probably oak. The species had not yet been published from Czechoslovakia. A full description is given, including macroscopic and microscopic characters, such as a cap 4–6(–7) cm in diameter, free pink gills, white woolly stipe, volva, and ellipsoid non-amyloid spores (6.2–8.2 x 4.1–5.7 µm). Cystidia were large and diverse in shape.
