 — " Pileus compact dry, even, scarcely brittle, of a cellular texture. Gills 

 close. Stem 2 'inches high, firm, often tinged with rose. Very bitter 

 like gall. Extremely acrid." Fr. I. c. According to Decandolle the 

 stem is often marked with little black or rose-coloured streaks. With- 

 ering describes the stem as eminently spongy and this accords with 

 M. Roques' description of it when old.
