ARMILLARIA Fr. 



Armilla, a ring. 



This is a small genus which closely resembles some species 

 of Amanita and Lepiota, but differs by having the gills attached 

 to the stem. The substance of the stem and pileus is also sim- 

 ilar and continuous, while in the other genera the stem and 

 cap easily separate. In A. meUca the cap is honey-colored or 

 somewhat brown with dark scales. The inner veil is present 

 and forms a distinct ring on the stem. Often the plants are 

 found attached to the roots of living trees, and are considered 

 harmful parasites. The plants are clustered, and the bases 

 are connected by a rope-like strand of mycelium.
