equal stem, which is not rooting. The habitat is also 

 different. Fries says that the present species often becomes 

 reddish when bruised. 



Cantharellus albidus. Fr. 



Pileus ^-l in. across, flesh rather thin, somewhat in- 

 fundibulifornT, irregular, rather wavy, indistinctly zoned, 

 whitish or with a yellow tinge ; gills decurrent, thin, rather 

 crowded, repeatedly dichotomous, white ; stem 1-1^ in. long, 



2 lines thick, equal or becoming compressed, glabrous, white,

In meadows, among moss, &c. 



Tough, but not coriaceous, while, verging on yellow or 

 rufous, pileus somewhat zoned. (Fries.) 



** Pileus submembi-anaceous ; stem hollow, polished. 



Cantharellus tubaeformis. Fr. 



Pileus 1-2 in. across, flesh thin, flexible, infundibuliform, 

 waved and more or less lobed, flocculose, yellowish-brown 

 becoming pale; gills slightly decurrent, thick, distant, 

 repeatedly branched, smoky-yellow ; stem 2-3 in. long, 



3 lines thick, almost equal, often compressed, lacunose, 

 glabrous, dull tawny-orange, hollow ; spores elliptical, smooth,

Cantharellus tubaeformis, Fries, Syst. Myc., i. p. 319 ; Cke., 

 Hdbk., p. 340 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 1108. 



In woods, on the ground and on rotten wood. 



Gregarious. Pileus 2 in. broad, thin, at first convex, 

 at length much undulated, depressed and very much 

 umbilicate, occasionally pervious, scrobiculato-squamose, 

 brownish-yellow. Folds straight-forked, slightly anasto- 

 mosing, cinereous yellow, frosted with a white bloom. 

 Stem 2 in. high, ^- in. thick, hollow, compressed, thickest 

 downwards, smooth, slightly downy at the base, saffron- 

 coloured, brownish-yellow above. (Berk.) 



Closely allied to C. infundibuliformis, with which it was 

 once united, but the typical form appears to be clearly
