Pileus fleshy, rather thin, convex, then expanded, sometimes 
broadly subumbonate, smooth, silky, whitish, tinged with 
lilac or pale violet ; lamelle generally serrulate, whitish-violet, 
then cinnamon-color ; stipe equal or a little tapering upward, 
solid, silky, white, stained with violet, especially at the top, 
slightly bulbous, the bulb gradually tapering into the stipe. 
Height, 3’-4’, breadth of pileus 2’—3’, stipe 3’—6” thick. 
Ground in thin woods, more frequently under poplars. 
Center. October. 
The stem is sometimes subannulate, and being violet above 
and white below the obscure ring, it appears as if sheathed 
with a silky white covering. Inodorous. Sometimes the stem 
gradually tapers from the base to the top, so thatit can scarcely 
be called bulbous.
