 garding the accuracy of determination of species is valuable.

PHOLIOTA Fr. 



^joX/c, a scale. 



The members of the genus Pholiota are fleshy both in cap 

 and stem, and the substance of the two is similar. The 

 volva, or cup, is absent from the base of the stem, but a dis- 

 tinct ring is persistent near the top, and in immature specimens 

 the gills are covered by the partial veil. The color of the 

 spores serves to separate the genus from Ar miliaria of the 

 white-spored group and Stropharia of the brown-spored group. 

 The spores of Pholiota are a rusty-red with a yellow tinge 

 when collected in quantity, and in some species are light red.
