DISTINGUISHING FIELD-MARKS: This species із readily recog- | | 
nized by the pallid pileus and the honey-colored tomentum and 4 
zones, together with the heliotrope color which injured parts | 
assume. It was found abundantly during August in dry weather % 
and іп dry soil. Тһе pileus is always zonate, the stem not at all E 
or only slightly scrobiculate and the latex only slightly acrid. 
The tomentum is darker at the tips of the hairs, which become 
matted together in small clusters, thus standing out more prom- 
inently against the paler color of the pileus. 
azonate, and deeper- or brighter-yellow in color, while the spores 
are smaller and much less echinulate.
