 equal, even, glabrous; pileus even, glabrous, dry, zoneless, 

 rufescent ; gills rather rigid, crowded, somewhat rufescent; 

 taste almost mild : milk white, unchangeable.

 sometimes a little darker ; stem short, 1-1 1 in. long, 2-4 lines 

 thick, stuffed, spongy, glabrous; pileus thin, flesh scarcely 

 as thick as breadth of gills, 1-2 in. across, papillate, 

 concave-depressed, marginal limb narrow, thin, inflexed, 

 even, glabrous, opaque; gills decurrent, slightly ventricose 

 and arcuate, 1 line and more broad, thin, crowded, at first
