" Plate 28 represents a form with smooth pileus, the most 

 common form in Maryland. It abounds at the roots of trees, 

 on old stumps, in the corners of old fences, in fact every- 

 where where there is old wood. The taste is not so nauseous 

 as some represent it, yet it reveals the fact that deception 

 may lurk under a pleasant title, ' the honey agaric' * * 

 One taste led me to suspect it was a wolf in sheep's clothing."

 at first nearly white, then dingy pinkish or brownish ochre,
