 at first then much deeper pinkish-cinnamon on edge view, a lighter 

 buff color at a strong angle. 



Stem about 2.5-4.5 cm. long and 1.2-1.8 cm. thick, sometimes en- 

 larging downwards and tending to be fistulose, pruinose when young, 

 smooth at maturity, but the base sometimes tomentose, whitish but 

 stains of the cap color or color of cap all over, with small and usually 

 inconspicuous scrobiculate marks, cavernous inside; flesh firm, brittle, 

 turning yellow when cut.

A small plant of low, damp woods, usually about 4 cm. broad and 

 5 cm. high. The species differs from L. chrysorheus (see No. 1838) 

 in zones being much less clear and not spotted, in pungent smell, in 

 much deeper colored gills and less acrid milk, also in spores being 

 cinnamon and not white (Miss Burlingham gives the spores of both 

 L. chrysorheus and L. theiogalus as white, but in our plants the spores 

 of the latter are distinctly colored).
