CLASSIFICATION OF AGARICS 



Gregarious, on the ground in open frondose woods or on bare 



soil along woodroads. Ann Arbor, Detroit, NVw Richmond, a1 

 least throughout i la- Sunt hern Peninsula. July-October. Frequent 

 Easily known by its color and size. When fresh the color is tin 

 aabar-red bu1 after exposure to wind and sun the color maj be 

 Often the stem is diluted and compressed toward the apex, in which 

 case it is found to be somewhal hollow. Typically the stem is solid. 

 Some think C. fritsii Quel, is the same, hut thai species is Baid to 

 have a yelvety-flocculose cap, different colors ami probably smaller 

 spores. Both lade, and the dried specimens probably look much 

 alike. Our planl seems to be a distinct American form. 



6. Cantherellus infundibuliformis Fr. (Edible)

Gregarious on the ground in wet swampy places, especially in 

 conifer woods. Marquette, Houghton, New Richmond. August- 

 < October. 



Distinguished from all the preceding by its thinner somewhal 

 pliant pileus and darker colors; it often has a sooty or ashy 

 shade. The center of the cap is usually perforated so as to expose 

 the hollow cavity of the stem from above. Its spores are quite char- 

 acteristic and set it off from its ne.ir relatives, which Murrill I X. A. 

 flora. Vol. !•. p. L68) has seen lit to include in this single spech
