  Woods, 
  especially 
  of 
  pine, 
  and 
  in 
  open 
  places. 
  Very 
  common. 
  

   July 
  to 
  October. 
  

  

  The 
  pileus 
  in 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  variable 
  in 
  color, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  never 
  

   wholly 
  white 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  preceding 
  species. 
  Its 
  stem 
  is 
  often 
  dotted 
  to 
  

   the 
  base, 
  but 
  the 
  dots 
  or 
  granules 
  are 
  generally 
  more 
  numerous 
  and 
  

   distinct 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  part. 
  This 
  and 
  B. 
  Boudieri 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  

   only 
  European 
  species 
  with 
  exannulate 
  glandular-clotted 
  stems. 
  If 
  

   we 
  have 
  correctly 
  valued 
  our 
  forms, 
  New 
  York 
  alone 
  has 
  five 
  such 
  

   species. 
  It 
  is 
  true, 
  they 
  are 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  each 
  other, 
  and 
  might 
  

   be 
  regarded 
  by 
  some 
  as 
  mere 
  varieties 
  of 
  a 
  single 
  extremely 
  variable 
  

   species, 
  but 
  to 
  me 
  the 
  distinguishing 
  characters 
  here 
  given 
  appear 
  to 
  

   be 
  constant 
  and 
  decisive. 
  

  

  B. 
  granulatus 
  is 
  recorded 
  as 
  edible 
  by 
  most 
  authors. 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  

   tested 
  it. 
  Gillet 
  remarks 
  that 
  it 
  ought 
  to 
  be 
  regarded 
  at 
  least 
  with 
  

   suspicion.
