 reddish tinge, center darker, innate-fibrillose-squarnose, not at all 

 viscose, flesh white and quite thin towards the margin. Lamellae 

 unequal, rounded behind, very light flesh color, with a reddish tinge, 

 especially where bruised or broken, moderately crowded, 2-3 mm.

 smell like that of a freshly cut cucumber. Stem of fibrous texture, 

 softer within and becoming hollow, about 8 cm. high and 1 cm. thick 

 below, subattenuated above, surface somewhat squamulose, about the 

 same color as the pileus, the whole plant assuming a distinctly red- 

 dish tinge, more decided with age. Spores white, sub-globose, about 

 3J/x. diameter.
