  but 
  such 
  specimens 
  grow 
  intermingled 
  with 
  others 
  that 
  are 
  not 
  zonate 
  

   and 
  are 
  evidently 
  the 
  same 
  species. 
  In 
  the 
  larger 
  specimens 
  the 
  

   pileus 
  is 
  frequently 
  more 
  lobed 
  and 
  irregular 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  others. 
  In 
  

   these 
  also 
  the 
  lamellae 
  are 
  apt 
  to 
  be 
  less 
  distant 
  and 
  more 
  branched 
  

   and 
  the 
  interspaces 
  more 
  venose 
  than 
  usual. 
  The 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  lamellae 
  

   may 
  be 
  yellow, 
  grayish-yellow, 
  subcinereous 
  or 
  even 
  tinged 
  with 
  

   lilac. 
  The 
  stem 
  in 
  variety 
  typicus 
  is 
  pale-yellow 
  or 
  flavid, 
  in 
  variety 
  

   luteolus 
  it 
  is 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  tinged 
  with 
  red, 
  and 
  in 
  variety 
  subcinereus 
  

   it 
  has 
  a 
  dingy 
  or 
  smoky 
  tint 
  above. 
  This 
  variety 
  occurs 
  especially 
  

   among 
  Sphagnum 
  in 
  marshes.

  The 
  gray 
  Chantarelle 
  is 
  less 
  common 
  than 
  the 
  preceding 
  species 
  to 
  

   which 
  it 
  is 
  closely 
  related, 
  but 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  distinguished 
  by 
  

   the 
  absence 
  of 
  yellow 
  hues 
  from 
  its 
  pileus 
  and 
  stem. 
  Its 
  stem 
  is 
  

   generally 
  comparatively 
  thicker 
  and 
  its 
  mode 
  of 
  growth 
  more 
  

   caespitose.

  This 
  is 
  our 
  smallest 
  species, 
  and 
  is 
  one 
  most 
  readily 
  recognized 
  by 
  

   its 
  slender 
  habit,

  color

  minutely
