but such specimens grow intermingled with others that are not zonate 
and are evidently the same species. In the larger specimens the 
pileus is frequently more lobed and irregular than in the others. In 
these also the lamelle are apt to be less distant and more branched 
and the interspaces more venose than usual. The color of the lamellee 
may be yellow, grayish-yellow, subcinereous or even tinged with 
lilac. The stem in variety ¢ypécus is pale-yellow or flavid, in variety 
Juteolus it is more or less tinged with red, and in variety subecnereus 
it has a dingy or smoky tint above. This variety occurs especially 
among Sphagnum in marshes. 
Cantharellus cinereus Pers. 
Gray Chantarelle. 
Pileus thin, submembranous, centrally depressed or funnel-shaped, 
often becoming pervious, minutely hairy or scaly, cénereous or blackish- 
cinereous, the margin frequently lobed or irregular; lamella thick, 
distant or subdistant, decurrent, branched and anastomosing, cinere- 
ous ; stem hollow, often compressed or irregular, eznereous or blackish- 
cinereous ; spores elliptical, .0003 to .00035 in. long, .0002 to .00025 
broad. 
Plant gregarious or cespitose, 1.5 to 3 in. high, pileus 1 to 2 in. 
broad, stem 2 to 4 lines thick. 
Woods. Greig, Sandlake and Albany. August and September, 
The gray Chantarelle is less common than the preceding species to 
which it is closely related, but from which it may be distinguished by 
the absence of yellow hues from its pileus and stem. Its stem is 
generally comparatively thicker and its mode of growth more 
cxespitose. 
Cantharellus pruinosus Pk. 
Frosted Chantarelle. 
Pileus thin, convex, subumbilicate, prucnose, white ; lamellae rather 
broad, distant, long-decurrent, sémple or rarely branched, white ; stem 
long, slender, slightly enlarged above, prucnose, whitish ; spores 
globose, 0002 to .00025 in. in diameter. 
Plant about 1 in. high, pileus 2 to 3 lines broad, stem scarcely 1 
line thick. 
Ground in pastures. Sageville. August. 
This is our smallest species, and is one most readily recognized by 
its slender habit, white color and minutely mealy or pruinose surface. -
