I06 AGARICINI. 



Stem, stuffed, subundulate, of same color, mild, white. 



This has a wrong name, for the odor is not like camphor ; more like 

 melilot. Scarce in woods near Allentown. 



I/, mitissimus. Fr. 



Pileus, small, tawny, one to three inches broad, zoneless, 

 flesh thin, convex, papillate, depressed around the papillae, 

 even, smooth ; flesh pallid, dry. 



Gills, adnate, decurrent by the depressed pileus. 



Stem, elongated, stuffed then hollow, even, smooth, same 



color as pileus. 



This small L/actarius grows abundantly in open woods, late in fall. I 

 at first took it to be a small L,. subdulcis. 



Genus XXXVI. CANTHAR^I/I/US. Adans. 



Hymenophore continuous with the stem, descending 

 unchanged into the trama. Gills thick, fleshy-waxy, fold-like, 

 somewhat branched, obtuse at the edge. Spores white. Fleshy, 

 membranaceous, putrescent fungi, without a veil. 



The distinguishing character of the genus consists in the 

 fold-like gills. The Mesopodes commonly grow on the 

 ground ; the rest commonly on mosses, ver}' rarely on wood. 

 Intermediate between Agaricus and Craterellus. Some are 

 edible, others reckoned poisonous. — Stevenson's British Fungi. 



C. cibarius. Fr. 



Pileus, fleshy, flesh white, smooth, at first repand then 

 turbinate or top-shaped. 



Gills, thick, distant, of the same color. 



Stem, attenuated downwards, smooth, tough, yellow, 

 diffused into the pileus.
