smooth, paler than the pileus; flesh whitish, changing to 
blue, as also do the tubes, when cut or bruised. 
Height 3’—4’, breadth of pileus 3’—4’, stipe 6" thick. 
Ground in woods and open places. New Baltimore and 
Sandlake. July and August. 
Near B. luridus. I have always found this plant much 
infested by the larve of insects, so that it is with difficulty a 
specimen can be dried before they destroy it.
