This the most common one, is found in similar situations 
and seasons with the former.. The threads of ligaments connect 
the gills with each other and with the pileus. They are white, 
and are mostly found pretty close to the inside of the pileus—

Grits fixed, perfectly uniform, yellow or yellowish white. 
* The gills in most of Schzeffer’s plates of this plant, are erreneously 
wn, I say erroneously, because his own geeriptions often differ from 
the drawings. Thus in pl. 58, 92, he particularly describes the gills as 
equal, but in the fig. they are of two ditterent lengths, except only in pl. 
92. f. 2. The same may be said of pl. 93, 94, where they are described 
48 equal, but figured of two or eyen three different lengths. I don’t 
rye these varieties, yiz. Scheff. 93, 94, have yet been seen in 
ug.—Nov. -
