DISTINGUISHING FIELD-MARKS: This species may Бе distin- 
guished from Lactaria torminosa, to which it is closely related, : 
by the shorter and more matted tomentum covering the entire : 
pileus, by the paler or duller-colored azonate pileus, and by the ` 
less abundant latex. At the margin of the pileus the tomentum | 
becomes somewhat longer. It is finer than the tomentum on the | 
margin of Lactaria torminosa. 
Agaricus intermedius Krombh. ai 58. f. 11-13 has been con- : 
sidered a variety of L. cilicivides, but it seems to be more nearly ` 
Lactaria scrobiculata Scop. Massee, however, describes it as 8 
distinct species. 
Krombholtz describes an Agaricus tomentosus 
pl. 40. f.17, 18 * as synonymous with Agaricus tomentosus of Otto, | 
and Massee and Cooke have followed Krombholtz, but шеге 
does not seem to me to be sufficient evidence that Krombholtz | 
species is the same as that of Otto, while Otto’s description agrees 
well with Agaricus cilicioides Fr. Тһе specific name given either 
by Schaeffer or Otto was a homonym, hence cilicioides stands as the 
specific name.
