rounded, almost free, 44 to 1 inch broad, distant, at first white then 
becoming yellowish or grayish-pallid." Fries’s figure [Icones, pl. 
24], might have been drawn from New England specimens. 
It may be added that the spores are white, narrowly oblong-elliptical, 
3 to 34% p broad by 4% to 6 y long. 
Tricholoma terreum Scheff. is a species of the group Genuina, 
characterized by a rough fibrillose or scaly pileus which is never in the 
least sticky. It commonly shows browner tints than 7. portentosum, fre- 
quently has a strong farinaceous smell, and shows cinereous tints in 
the lamella and on the stem. Placed side by side the two species can 
easily be told apart by a glance at the pileus, in one case smooth and 
virgate, in the other rather rough and scurfy. The absence of viscid- 
ity in Z. Zerreum is, however, the point to which attention must be 
directed. "The spores are white, broadly elliptical, 4 to 5 a broad by 
6 to 7 p long. 
The species is frequent in woods of deciduous trees, but is also 
found in pine woods. About Boston it is, apparently, not so common 
as 7. portentosum, at least it is not so often collected.
