The spores on paper are very light salmon color. They are globose 

 or rounded in outline, 5-7 angled, with an oil globule, 8-10 yu in diam- 

 eter. The stem is the same color as the pileus, but lighter, striate, 

 hollow, somewhat twisted, and enlarged below. Figure 140 is from

Entoloma strictius Pk. The plants grow in grassy places, pastures, 

 etc. They are clustered, sometimes two or three joined at the base 

 of the stem. They are 7-10 cm. high, the caps 2-4 cm. broad, and 

 the stems 3-6 mm. in thickness. 



The pileus is convex, the disk expanded, and the margin incurved 

 and more or less wavy or repand on the extreme edge. It is umbo- 

 nate at the center with usually a slight depression around the umbo, 

 smooth, watery (hygrophanous) in appearance, not viscid, of an 

 umber color, shining, faintly and closely striate on the margin.
