  times 
  tinged 
  with 
  orange. 
  The 
  scales 
  are 
  sometimes 
  thick 
  and 
  per- 
  

   sistent, 
  and 
  again 
  thin 
  and 
  subevanescent. 
  The 
  pilens 
  is 
  depressed 
  or 
  

   umbilicate 
  at 
  a 
  very 
  early 
  age, 
  and 
  it 
  frequently 
  becomes 
  pervious 
  

   when 
  mature. 
  The 
  interstices 
  or 
  reticulations 
  formed 
  by 
  the 
  anas- 
  

   tomosing 
  of 
  the 
  lamellae 
  are 
  in 
  some 
  specimens 
  as 
  broad 
  as 
  long, 
  in 
  

   others 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  broad. 
  The 
  stem 
  is 
  often, 
  though 
  not 
  

   always, 
  somewhat 
  tomentose.

  This 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  rare 
  species. 
  It 
  occurred 
  in 
  very 
  limited 
  quantity 
  

   in 
  1879, 
  in 
  the 
  locality 
  mentioned, 
  and 
  has 
  not 
  since 
  been 
  found. 
  It 
  

   is 
  smaller 
  than 
  C. 
  floccosus, 
  more 
  caespitose 
  in 
  its 
  mode 
  of 
  growth, 
  

   and 
  with 
  thinner 
  lamellae. 
  The 
  thick 
  fleshy 
  pileus 
  is 
  neither 
  pervious 
  

   nor 
  umbilicate 
  and 
  but 
  slightly 
  depressed.

  the
