 sphagnum.

PILEUS 10-25 mm. broad, often longer than wide, thin, conical 

 or campanulate, papillate or subacute, subhygrophanous or moist, 

 deep salmon color or tinged with orange, margin even or nearly 

 so. GILLS adnexed, broad, subdistant, ascending, ventricose, sal- 

 mon-yellow or salmon-colored. STEM 5-12 cm. long, 2-4 mm. 

 thick, slender, equal, glabrous, pruinose at apex, hollow, salmon-

A beautiful little Entoloma. easily mistaken for a Nolanea. The 

 spores are unique for the most part; under the microscope they ap- 

 pear like 4-sided crystals, but with the sides less straight. Simon 

 I >avis reports that the stem and sometimes the pileus may be tinged 

 greenish.
