This species belongs to the section Demuiatae. It is some- 

 what closely related to Hebcloma criistidiforme Bull., that 

 has been credited to California, but it is clearly different in 

 its deeply sinuate gills, longer solid stem and mild taste and 



odor.

 to expanded, obtuse, clear bright reddish-brown, disc darker, 

 smooth, shining, viscid, margin entire, subinflexed ; lamellae 

 strongly heterophyllous, adnexed, rounded behind, crowded,
