VI. Agglutinatae. Pileus rather broad; margin involute at first and covered with a 
very short tomentum, soon naked; surface from white to buff and umber with a greenish 
tinge, becoming darker colored in drying, very viscid when young or wet, varying from 
subglabrous to sparsely tomentose : context firm; latex white, unchanging, acrid ; lamellae 
becoming more deeply colored and more or less pruinose with age.

Pileus convex-umbilicate, then depressed in the center, at length infundibuliform, 6-10 
cm. broad; surface buff, paler when mature, slightly zonate when young, scarcely so when 
older, slimy-viscid when wet, with subrugose elevations or papillae showing through the 
gluten, appearing squamulose to squarrulose when dry; margin involute and minutely 
pubescent at first, the pubescence becoming less noticeable as the margin unfolds : context 
rather firm, white, having an odor like raw pumpkin; latex white, unchanging, acrid; 
lamellae yellowish-buff, some forking near the stipe, close, slightly decurrent, 24 mm. 
broad; stipe of the same color as the pileus or paler, sometimes spotted, equal or tapering 
downwards, viscid when wet, glabrous, firm as though solid, becoming spongy to hollow: 
spores creamy-white in mass, subglobose, echinulate, 7-8 u in diameter.
