Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, sligrhtly silkj'-fibrillose, whitish 

 with a brownish or grayish-brown slightly prominent disk, taste and 

 odor strong, unpleasant ; lamella subdistant, emarginate, white: 

 stem equal, slightly silky, shining, stuffed or holloic, white: spores 

 subglobose or broadly elliptical, .00025 to .0003 in. long, .0002 to 

 .00025 broad. 



Pileus 10 to 15 lines broad : stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, about 2 lines thick.

The species is related to T. inarnoimim, from which it is separated 

 by its smaller size, less distant lamellie, stuffed or hollow stem and 

 different odor. Nor is the stem radicating or the disk tinged with 

 yellow as in that species. The odor is decidedly earthy, resembling 

 that of vegetable mold or mossy rocks. Its taste is similar to its 

 odor and remains in the mouth and throat a long time.
