Agaricaceae 

 Cantharellus. (Plate XLVIII.) 



CANTHARELLUS ROSELLUS. 

 Natural size. 



Mossy ground in groves of balsam. 

 North Elba. September. This small 

 species belongs to the section Agar- 

 icoides, and is apparently closely al- 

 lied to C. albidus, from which its 

 smaller size and different color dis- 

 tinguish it. The pileus is sometimes 

 deeply umbilicate. Peck, 42d Rep. 

 N. Y. State Bot. 



Frequent in pine woods of New 

 Jersey, near Haddonfield, where the 

 plant is sturdier than described. 

 Though small it grows gregarious 

 and in troops from which appetizing 

 quantities can be gathered. 



It makes a pretty dish of pinkish 

 hue and one of rare excellence. 



C. lutes'cens Bull. yellowish. (Plate CXXXVI, fig. 9, p. 508.) 

 PileilS thin, fleshy, convex, umbilicate, brownish-floccose, yellowish. 

 Gills very distant, sparingly branched, arcuate-decurrent, pale ochrace- 

 ous. Stem slender, slightly tapering downward, smooth, shining, bright 

 orange-tinted yellow, stuffed or hollow. 



Height 2-3 in., breadth of PileilS 8-15 lines. 



Mossy ground in woods. Catskill and Adirondack mountains, also 

 Sandlake. August to October. 



This is regarded by some as a variety of A. tubaeformis. Peck, 23d 

 Rep. N. Y. State Bot. 



In mixed and scrub-pine woods near Haddonfield, N. J. ; mixed 

 woods Angora and Kingsessing, Philadelphia. 



Perhaps constancy to C. cibarius has influenced the writer in favor of 

 members of its family, and accounts for the gusto in "Fine" set opposite 

 his notes to the present species. Nevertheless such is his opinion. 



** Stem tubular. 



C. flocco'silS Schw. woolly. (Plate XLVI, fig. I, p. 214.) Pileus 

 fleshy, elongated funnel-form or trumpet shape, floccose-squamose,
