40 Journal of the Mitchell Society ^October 



A very variable plant, particularly in color of cap and gills, but 

 easily recognized by the clear orange color of the cavernous stem. 

 Bresadola figures a branched or densely cespitose form that he calls 

 var. subramosus (Fungi Trident. 1: 87, PI. 97). The colors 

 shown are not accurate for our plant.

 strongly crenated and lobed, the margin elevated or drooping ; surface 

 lightly ridged and grooved, somewhat felted and slightly squamulose, 

 especially near the margin, the center passing down gradually into the 

 hollow stem, or at times with more of the appearance of having been 

 perforated into the stem; color grayish-drab, blackening in age or 

 when bruised. Flesh toughish, elastic, only 1-2 mm. thick, color of 

 cap, odor a very decided musky fragrance, taste not distinct.

 vated radially, with lower and irregular anastomosing ones, all blunt 

 and not more than 1 mm. high, color like that of cap with a tint of 

 flesh added, moderately decurrent.
