  This 
  species 
  corresponds 
  closely 
  in 
  size, 
  color 
  and 
  general 
  appear- 
  

   ance 
  to 
  Cantharellus 
  infundibuliformis, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  readily 
  

   distinguished 
  except 
  by 
  its 
  hymenium, 
  which 
  is 
  neither 
  pruinose 
  nor 
  

   furnished 
  with 
  distinct 
  lamellae, 
  though 
  its 
  vein-like 
  wrinkles 
  some- 
  

   times 
  make 
  a 
  close 
  approach 
  to 
  the 
  narrow 
  lamellae 
  of 
  tnat 
  Chanta- 
  

   relle. 
  It 
  is 
  commonly 
  compared 
  with 
  Cantharellus 
  tuboeformis, 
  with 
  

   which, 
  according 
  to 
  Fries, 
  it 
  was 
  formerly 
  confused, 
  and 
  to 
  which 
  

   it 
  corresponds 
  very 
  closely 
  by 
  reason 
  of 
  its 
  naked 
  yellow 
  hymenium. 
  

   The 
  pileus 
  of 
  the 
  European 
  plant 
  is 
  described 
  as 
  " 
  flocculose," 
  but 
  

   in 
  our 
  plant 
  it 
  is 
  usually 
  almost 
  glabrous 
  or 
  but 
  slightly 
  fibrillose. 
  

   The 
  hymenium 
  is 
  sometimes 
  slightly 
  reddish 
  or 
  orange-tinted 
  and 
  the 
  

   stem 
  is 
  colored 
  like 
  it 
  rather 
  than 
  like 
  the 
  pileus. 
  In 
  small 
  or 
  young 
  

   plants 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  uncommon 
  to 
  find 
  the 
  stem 
  stuffed 
  below 
  and 
  hollow 
  

   above 
  only. 
  The 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  stem 
  is 
  frequently 
  hairy 
  or 
  strigose.

  Pileus 
  fleshy, 
  firm, 
  convex, 
  then 
  centrally 
  depressed 
  or 
  infundibuli- 
  

   form, 
  glabrous, 
  yellow 
  or 
  pinkish-yellow, 
  the 
  margin 
  commonly 
  lobed, 
  

   wavy 
  or 
  irregular, 
  flesh 
  white 
  ; 
  hymenium 
  nearly 
  even 
  or 
  rugose- 
  

   wrinkled, 
  yellow 
  ; 
  stem 
  glabrous, 
  solid, 
  yellow 
  ; 
  spores 
  subelliptical, 
  

   .0003 
  to 
  .0004

  .0002 
  to

  Plant

  to

  So 
  closely 
  does 
  this 
  plant 
  resemble 
  the 
  edible 
  Chantarelle, 
  both 
  

   in 
  size, 
  shape 
  and 
  color, 
  that 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  natural 
  to 
  suppose 
  it 
  a 
  form 
  

   of 
  that 
  species 
  with 
  an 
  undeveloped 
  or 
  abnormally 
  developed 
  hyme- 
  

   nium. 
  Its 
  color 
  is 
  a 
  vitelline 
  or 
  egg-yellow, 
  as 
  in 
  that 
  species, 
  but 
  

   sometimes 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  slight 
  pinkish 
  tinge 
  to 
  the 
  pileus 
  and 
  a 
  faint 
  shade 
  

   of 
  salmon 
  color 
  or 
  orange 
  to 
  the 
  hymenium. 
  The 
  spores 
  also, 
  when 
  

   collected 
  on 
  white 
  paper, 
  have 
  a 
  yellowish 
  or 
  salmon-yellow 
  tint. 
  

   The 
  plant 
  is 
  more 
  frequently 
  caespitose 
  than 
  Cantharellus 
  cibarius, 
  

   and 
  consequently 
  the 
  pileus 
  is 
  generally 
  more 
  irregular. 
  It 
  was 
  

   placed 
  by 
  Schweinitz 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Thelephora, 
  section 
  Craterell^e, 
  

   whence 
  the 
  synonym 
  Thelephora 
  Cantharellus 
  Schw. 
  In 
  Grevillea, 
  

   vol. 
  1, 
  p. 
  147, 
  this 
  name 
  is 
  given 
  as 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  Craterellus 
  late-
