Miss Burlingham distinguishes a distind species which is named 

 L. muc'ulus Burl., which differs from /.. cinereus in its puttj i 

 cap with sepia center, and in thai the milk stains the flesh and i^ills 

 blue-grayish-gray. It is said to occur under hemlock hut accord- 

 in-- to this author the true /.. cinereus is said to !»<• restricted to 

 beech woods, our plants grew under hemlock, birch, maple and 

 pine. I have no record concerning heech. It is probable thai our 

 plants are to be referred to L.mucidus; in thai case I nave no record 

 of L. cinereus to which I have always referred these collections. 

 My notes are not sufficient to settle the matter.
