  This 
  Chantarelle 
  is 
  beautifully 
  colored, 
  though 
  frequently 
  irregular 
  

   in 
  shape. 
  It 
  is 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  the 
  preceding 
  species, 
  from 
  which 
  

   its 
  color, 
  smaller 
  size 
  and 
  comparatively 
  broader 
  lamellae 
  distinguish 
  

   it. 
  It 
  varies 
  slightly 
  in 
  the 
  depth 
  of 
  its 
  color, 
  the 
  pileus 
  being 
  some- 
  

   times 
  tinged 
  with 
  yellow. 
  It 
  is 
  difficult 
  to 
  preserve 
  its 
  red 
  hue 
  in 
  the 
  

   dried 
  specimens. 
  The 
  width 
  of 
  the 
  lamellae 
  is 
  generally 
  equal 
  to 
  or 
  

   greater 
  than 
  the 
  thickness 
  of 
  the 
  flesh 
  of 
  the 
  pileus. 
  The 
  flesh 
  has 
  

   a 
  slightly 
  pungent 
  or 
  peppery 
  taste. 
  The 
  species 
  was 
  placed 
  by 
  Fries 
  

   in 
  the 
  genus 
  Hygrophorus, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  genuine 
  Cantharellus.

  This 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  small 
  Chantarelle. 
  It 
  is 
  colored 
  like 
  C. 
  cibarius, 
  

   from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  smaller 
  size, 
  thin 
  and 
  frequently 
  

   umbilicate 
  pileus, 
  comparatively 
  broader 
  lamellae, 
  and 
  more 
  slender 
  

   stem, 
  and 
  smaller 
  spores. 
  In 
  very 
  small 
  or 
  young 
  specimens 
  the 
  

   stem 
  sometimes 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  solid, 
  but 
  in 
  large 
  and 
  mature 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  it 
  is 
  stuffed 
  or 
  hollow, 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  upper 
  part. 
  By 
  this 
  

   character 
  it 
  connects 
  this 
  section 
  with 
  the 
  next. 
  In 
  wet 
  weather 
  the 
  

   pileus 
  is 
  moist 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  watery-yellow 
  hue 
  which 
  fades 
  slightly 
  

   in 
  drying.
