KEY TO COMMON GILLED FUNGI 



IDENTIFICATION BY CHARACTER OF CAP (Continued) 



IDENTIFICATION BY COLOR OF CAP 



Color, as a means of identifying gilled mushrooms, is used here only 

 when it is a distinct, bright or noticeable hue. Confusion would result 

 from attempts to distinguish species by reference to such common and 

 indeterminate shades as buff, tawny, brownish, grayish and the like.
