Type: in Herb. Schweinitz. 



Fructifications single or cespitose, fleshy, firm, egg-yellow; 

 pileus convex, becoming depressed or infundibuliform, glabrous, 

 yellow, the margin often lobed or irregular; stem solid, cylindric 

 or tapering downward, glabrous, yellow; hymenium nearly 

 even or rugose \mnkled, yellow, or with a reddish salmon tinge 

 and drying ochre-red; spores 7-10 x 3|-5| m- 



Fructifications 4-9 cm. high; pileus 2^-8 cm. broad; stem 

 2§-5 cm. long, 5-10 mm. thick. 



On the ground in open woods. Massachusetts to Alabama 

 and westward to Ohio; also in Mexico. June to September. 

 Abundant locally. 



This species is so similar to Cantharellus cibarius in habit, 

 coloration, size and form — differing from the latter only in the 

 more even hymenium, that figures of C. cibarius will serve very 

 well for Craterellus Cantharellus, if allowance is made for the 

 different hymenium. The fii^m and solid stem of C. Cantharellus 

 distinguishes this species from C. odoratus easily. The latter 

 species sometimes has its pileus greatly branched. My illus- 

 tration of this species is photographed from the dried herbarium 

 specimen of the cotype of C. lateritius Berk. In this specimen 

 the lobes of the pileus were pressed together above before drying. 

 The hymenium of this specimen is now ochre-red and agrees 

 in color with that of the authentic specimen of C. Cantharellus 

 in Curtis Herb.; both these specimens have been poisoned. I
