This is one of our later-appearing 

 species, reaching maturity in the latter 

 part of July and being found until snow 

 falls ; I have taken it from July 30 to 

 Nov. 17. It may be found almost any- 

 where, but is partial to open groves 

 and the edges of woodlands made up 

 of deciduous trees, especially on rather 

 dry upland soil. I have specimens 

 from Fryeburg, Norway, and Speckled

 Weed), Mt. Kearsarge (2000 ft.) and
