Leucosporae 



slightly bulbous, often curved, smooth striate, sulphur-yellow, stuffed, Trichoioma, 

 fibrous or hollow, yellow within, at times having yellow fibrous roots. 



Spores 9- 1 ox 5 /* Massee. 



Very variable in size. Gregarious, common in mixed woods. 



West Virginia, 1 88 1. West Philadelphia, 1886. Mcllvaine. 



When quite young T. sulphureum is showy and inviting. Its smell 

 is discouraging, its taste forbidding. No amount of cooking removes 

 its unpleasant flavor. I have tried to eat enough of it to test its quali- 

 ties, but was satisfied after strenuous efforts to mark it INEDIBLE. 



T. chrysenteroi'des Pk. like gold. PileilS fleshy, convex or plane, 

 not at all umbonate, firm, dry, glabrous or slightly silky, pale-yellow 

 or buff, becoming dingy with age, the margin sometimes reflexed, flesh 

 pale-yellow, taste and odor farinaceous. Gills rather close, emarginate, 

 yellowish, becoming dingy or pallid with age, marked with transverse 

 -ccinlets along Hie upper edge, the interspaces veined. Stem equal, 

 firm, solid, bare, fibrous-striate, yellowish without and within. Spores 

 elliptical, 8-10x5-6/4. 



Pileus 1-2 in. broad. Stem 2-3 in. long, 3-4 lines thick. 



Woods. Lewis and Cattaraugus counties. September. 



Nearly allied to T. chrysenterum, but separable by the gills, which 

 are somewhat veiny and not free, by the entire absence of an umbo and 

 by its farinaceous odor and taste. Peck, 44th Rep. N. Y. State Bot. 



Frequently found at Angora, and in Woodland Cemetery, West 

 Philadelphia. 



Edible. Fair flavor and good quality. 



T. o'picum Fr. uncouth. Pileus i-i ^ in. across. Flesh rather thin, 

 becoming grayish; convex, then expanded, obtusely-umbonate, at 

 length usually upturned and split, very dry, even at first, then minutely 

 scaly, gray. Gills broadly emarginate, ventricose, rather thick, scarcely 

 distant, hoary. Stem 2-3 in. long, 2-3 lines thick, equal, fibrillose, 

 becoming almost glabrous, pallid then grayish, stuffed. Massee 



Among moss, in pine woods, etc. 



Inodorous. Somewhat resembling T. saponaceum, but distinguished 

 by the absence of smell. 



Waretown, N. J. Under pines and open places in pine woods. Au- 

 gust to September, 1889. Mcllvaine.
