MUSHROOMS, EDIBLE AND OTHERWISE 



Both are very interesting plants. The plant in Figure 493 was found near 

 Boston, Mass. They are usually found in pine woods, often in tufts. The stems 

 are from one to four inches long, nearly equal, smooth, lemon-colored, at length 

 fibroso-strigose and blackish. 



It is sometimes called Torrubia capitata.
