 Patonillard, Tab. Analj t., No. 1-7. 



PILEUS 3-9 cm. broad, convex al first, soon expanded, i lane then 

 depressed, soft, somewhat viscid, silky, white to whitish or tinged 

 yellowish, margin often undnlate-lobed, even. FLESH white. 

 GILLS deeply decurrent, close, aarrow, edge entire, whitei then 

 pale salmon-colored from spores. STEM - 5 cm. long, l 10 mm. 

 thick, rather short, solid, soft, flocculose, sometimes eccentric, sub- 

 equal to subvi atricose. SPORES '.» 1 ! \ t-6 micr., fusiform to oval- 

 elongated, narrowed toward apiculus, nucleate, pale salmon color 

 in mass, furrowed, smooth. <>lx>l{ ami TASTE farinaceous. 



(Dried: Pileus and stem dull-white; gills salmon-colored.) 



Solitary or gregarious. < >n the ground or on moss, in h»w oak 

 and maple woods, grassy places, etc. July-September. Ann Arbor, 

 Detroit, Jackson. Frequent in southern Michigan. 



This apparently differs from G. prunulus in its viscid pileus when 

 moist, in iis closer gills and the sofl texture, h is more abundant 

 than thai species, lis edibility is the same and for thai purpose 



need no1 be distinguished fr the preceding. I have nol found it 



in conifer regions. It is often considered identical with C. prunulus, 

 inn is at least a variety.
