702 THE AGARICACEAE OF MICHIGAN 



with age. FLESH pale yellow. GILLS close, emarginate, yellowish, 

 dingy or pallid in age, marked with transverse veiulets along the 

 upper edge, interveno.se. STEM 5-7 em. long, 6-8 mm. thick, firm, 

 equal, solid, glabrous, fibrillose-striate, yellowish within and with- 

 out. SPOKES elliptical, 7-10 x 5-6 inicr. ODOR and TASTE fari- 

 naceous/' 



Gregarious. On the ground in woods. 



This species has not with certainty been collected within the 

 State. The description is adopted from Peck, and included for the 

 sake of comparison. 



739. Tricholoma odorum Pk. 

 Torrey Bot. Club. Bull., Vol. 25, 1898. 



PILEUS 2-5 cm. broad, convex-expanded, obtuse, glabrous, "soft 

 like kid," shining when young, waxy yellow to pale tan, even. 

 FLESH thick, concolor. GILLS adnexed, emarginate, rather broad, 

 subdistant, thick, whitish, tinged flesh-pink, edge entire. STEM 3-7 

 cm. long, 4-10 mm. thick, equal or subbulbous, stuffed then hollow, 

 subflexuous, silky-fibrillose, yellowish white, darker yellow at base 

 and within, pruinose at apex. SPORES broadly elliptic-ovate, 

 smooth, 7-9 x 5-6 micr., variable, white. CYSTIDIA and sterile 

 cells none. ODOR rather strong, reminding one of that of T. sul- 

 fureum; TASTE farinaceous. 



Gregarious. On the ground in beech and pine woods. New Rich- 

 mond. September. Rare. 



This seems to approach T. sulfureum and is probably a varia- 

 tion of it. Further data are necessary to establish it fully. The 

 incarnate tinge to the whitish gills, and the peculiar odor are 

 characters which distinguish it.
