 white then rufescent ; stem about 2 in. long, 2-3 lines thick,

In woods. 



Inodorous. Cooke's figures differ considerably from Fries' 

 description. The pileus is campanulate, lax, and with a 

 prominent umbo, resembling in habit a large Galera. 



Tricholoma flavobrunneum. Fr. 



Smell strong, like new meal. Pileus 3-6 in. across, flesh 

 thick, either the whole, or that of the stem and the edge of 

 the pileus clear yellow; conically convex then expanded, 

 broadly gibbous, viscid, fibrillosely virgate, or innately 

 squamulose but the surface not broken up, tawny-rufous 

 with the disc darker, or entirely bay or rufous-brown ; gills 

 emarginate with a decurrent tooth, crowded, p*le yellow, 

 becoming spotted with brown when touched or with age ; 

 stem 3-5 in. long, |- in. thick, rufescent or brownish, 

 generally ventricose and narrowed at each end, more or less 

 equal when small, with rufous fibrils on the surface, viscid 

 at first, apex naked, hollow ; spores 6-7 X 4-5 /*.
