Plate 40. 



Cap 5-6 cm. broad, irregular, coarsely tomentose, whitish with 

 creamy or honey-colored zones, margin involute. 



Gills crowded, 2-3 mm. broad, a few forked, cream at maturity, 

 turning pink then light smoky-brown when cut. 



Stem 1.5 cm. long, tapering downward, 1.1-1.5 cm. thick above," 

 white with a few creamy dots, densely but minutely tomentose all 

 over, or with a few scrobiculate spots, hollow. 



Milk white, very sparce, quite mild. Taste of flesh like cypress 

 wood.

 quite mild milk and much smaller spores. It differs from L. speci- 

 osus in change to innh and smoky, not heliotrope, and in the much 

 smaller spores.
