On the ground. Eare. Esculent. 



The stem of the fresh plant has a slight inclination to be silky outside, be-

 "mottled" would give a better idea of the pileus than ''spotted after the 

 fashion of scales ;"' this part of the plant is very conical and fleshy. Spores 

 very small, ovoid, "0001 in. long. — W. G. S.
