Genus — RUSSULA Fr. 

 Hymenophorum continuous w4th the vesiculose trama. Gills 



rigid, not milky ; edge acute. Veil none. — Berli. Outl. 

 In size and shape the species of this genus resemble those of 

 the preceding one, from which they are at once distinguished by 

 the absence of a milk}^ or colored juice. Some of them resemble 

 the exannulate Amanitce, from which the entire absence of a veil 

 will serve to separate them.
