THE WHITE-SPORED AGARICS 



71 



Figure 51. Tricholoma Russula. Natural size. Caps reddish or flesh color. 



The gills are notched, crowded, pallid or rufescent, narrow. 



The stem is solid, rather short, blunt, yellowish, squamulose above or about 

 the apex. The spores are subglobose, 5-6/A. 



These plants were found growing in a thick bed of moss along with Armillaria 

 nardosmia. They were not perfect plants but I judged them to be T. acerbum 

 from their taste and involute margin. I sent some to Prof. Atkinson, who con- 

 firmed my classification. They grow in open woods in October and November. 



Tricholoma cinerascens. Bull. 



Cinerascens means becoming the color of ashes. 



The pileus is two to three inches broad, fleshy, convex to expanded, even, 

 obtuse, smooth, white, then grayish, margin thin.
