48 GUIDE TO THE MODELS OF FUNGI. 



105. Russula adusta Fr. — Pileus whitish-pallid, generally clouded 

 with dark smoky stains as if scorched, fleshy, compact, depressed, 

 at length somewhat infundibuliform, margin at first inflexed, smooth, 

 without striae, flesh not changing ; gills adnate, then dccurrent, thin, 

 crowded, white, then dingy, constant in colour ; stalk solid, stout, 

 same colour as pileus. 



R. adusta grows in woods ; it is local, frequent in some localities, 

 rare in others. 



106. Russula sanguinea Fr. — Pileus shining blood-red, often 

 paler round the even, acute margin, fleshy, firm, obtuse, at length 

 depressed and infundibuliform, gibbous at the disc, moist in damp 

 weather; flesh firm, white; gills at first adnate, then decurrent, 

 crowded, narrow, connected by veins, fragile, somewhat forked, 

 shining white ; stalk stout, spongy-stuffed, at first contracted at the 

 apex, then equal, slightly striate, white or shaded with red. 



R. saiigtiiiica is one of a considerable number of the genus with 

 crimson pilei, some edible, others poisonous. It is a somewhat 

 uncommon inhabitant of woods, chiefly fir. Acrid, poisonous. 



107. Russula foetens Fr. — Pileus yellowish-brown, with a deeply 

 striate, or ribbed, at length tuberculate margin, at first spherical, 

 then expanded and depressed, rigid, viscid in wet weather; gills 

 adnexed, crowded, connected by veins, at first exuding watery drops, 

 whitish or pale yellowish, dingy when bruised ; stalk thick, stout, 

 stuffed, then hollow, whitish or whitish-grey. 



R. fatcns is a large, coarse species, common in woods, and 

 easily recognised by its strong, penetrating, burning-foetid odour, 

 strongest in mature specimens in damp weather, and weakest in dry 

 specimens in sunny weather. Acrid, probably poisonous 



108. Russula emetica Fr. — Pileus at first shining rosy, then 

 shining blood-red, becoming lighter again when old, sometimes 

 becoming white, yellowish, or buff — the crimson pellicle is separable, 

 and the surface of the white flesh is red — at first campanulate, then 

 flattened or depressed, margin sulcate and tuberculate; gills some- 

 what free, broad, rather distant, shining white; stalk spongy-stuffed, 

 stout, elastic, even, white or clouded with rose-colour. 



The whole plant is very brittle at maturity, and often mistaken 

 for the smaller, acrid R. fragilis, in which, however, the gills are 

 crowded. Found in woods and open places. Very acrid and 

 poisonous ; said to act as an emetic. 



109. Russula Integra Fr. — Pileus typically red, sometimes 

 ranging in colour from red, through olivaceous, to brown, campanu- 

 lato-convex, then expanded and depressed, pellicle viscous, at length 

 tuberculate-sulcate at the margin, and brittle; flesh white, yellowish 

 towards apex ; gills somewhat free, broad, equal, or bifid near the 

 stem, somewhat distant, connected by veins, at first pallid-white,
