36. Lactaria colorascens Peck, Bull. N. Y. State Mus. 94: 33. 1905. 
Pileus fleshy, thin, nearly plane, becoming depressed in the center, 3-5 cm. broad; 
surface whitish at first, becoming brownish-red with age, azonate, moist, glabrous; margin 
naked: latex white, becoming sulfur-yellow, bitter; lamellae whitish, becoming colored 
like the mature pileus, close, thin, adnate, or slightly decurrent; stipe whitish, then

37. Lactaria chrysorhea Fries; Epicr. Myc. 342. 1838. 
Pileus fleshy, rather thick, convex-umbilicate, then infundibuliform, 2.5-10 em. broad; 
surface whitish to yellowish tinged with flesh-color, usually zoned with golden-yellow, or 
pale-orange, slightly viscid when moist, glabrous; margin involute at first and covered 
with a minute down, then spreading and naked: context firm, white, becoming yellow 
where injured; latex white, becoming golden-yellow, very acrid; lamellae white, then 
yellowish, some forking, close, adnate to slightly decurrent, thin; stipe white, then colored 
like the pileus, sometimes with bright colored spots, pruinose, glabrous except at the base, 
which is more or less villose, stuffed, then hollow, 2.5-8 cm. long, 6-15 mm. thick: spores 
white, subglobose, minutely echinulate, 7-8 » in diameter.

XII. Quietae. Pileus of medium size to small; margin involute at first and naked; sur- 
face varying from leather-colored to fulvous or reddish, covered with a thin viscidity when 
moist, but soon dry, glabrous: context rather lax ; latex white, unchanging, or rarely stain- - 
ing the lamellae greenish, mild or only slightly acrid; lamellae becoming decidedly darker 
with age, and dusted with spores. 
In these plants the viscidity disappears so quickly that it may not be noticed in dry 
weather unless collected in the dew; Lactaria guieta is rarely found viscid.
