REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. PAY 
Lactarius uvidus, /7. 
Moist Lactarius. 
Pileus at first convex, then nearly plane or centrally depressed, 
glabrous, viscid, whitish, grayish-brown or livid-brown, generally with a 
slight tinge of pink, sometimes obscurely zonate or marked with darker 
spots, either with or without a small umbo; lamellz rather narrow, thin, 
close, white or yellowish, becoming lilac where cut or bruised ; stem 
equal or slightly tapering upward, stuffed or hollow, glabrous, viscid, 
whitish or pallid ; spores globose or broadly elliptical, yellowish, 00035 
to .00045 in.; milk white, changing to lilac, taste acrid. 
Var. magnus, Plant large, pileus obscurely zonate or marked with 
darker spots more or less contentrically arranged. 
Pileus 1 to 2 in. broad, stem 1.5 to 3 in. long, 3 to 6 lines thick. 
Wet mossy places in woods and swamps. Adirondack mountains and 
Sandlake. July and August. 
This species is not very common. It is readily recognized by the 
lilac color assumed by the milk and the wounds of the flesh and lamelle. 
The variety occurs in Vermont where it was observed by Mr. A P. 
Morgan. 
Lactarius chrysorheus, /’. 
Yellow-milk Lactarius. 
Agaricus zonarius, Bolt. 
Pileus convex, umbilicate or centrally depressed, becoming infundi- 
buliform, glabrous, yellowish, sometimes tinged with flesh-color, adorned 
with bright-colored zones and spots, the margin at first involute and 
pruinose-tomentose’ lamellz thin, close, adnate or decurrent, yellowish, 
some of them forked; stem equal, glabrous, hollow, white or colored 
like the pileus, sometimes spotted ; spores subglobose, .0003 to .00035 
in.; milk white, becoming yellow, taste acrid. 
Pileus 1 to 3 in. broad, stem 8 to 15 lines long, 3 to 5 lines thick. 
Thin woods or open places. Bethlehem and Sandlake. July and 
August. Not common. 
Fries describes this species as having a dry pileus, but in our speci- 
mens it appeared to be slightly viscid when moist. The milk in the 
European plant is said to change color quickly, in ours the change 
takes place slowly. The spots of the pileus are usually small and nu- 
merous and sometimes concentrically arranged. They, as well as the 
zones, have a golden-yellow or pale-orange hue. They, together with 
the color of the pileus, distinguish this species from the next, and the 
change in the color of the milk separates it from L.amsulsws. The plant 
described in the Twenty-third Report under this name belongs to the 
next species. 
» Lactarius theiogalus, fr. 
Sulphur-milk Lactarius. 
Agaricus theiogalus, Bull. 
Pileus fleshy, thin, convex, then depressed, even, glabrous, viscid, 
tawny-reddish ; lamellz adnate or decurrent, close, pallid or reddish ;
