SALMON ENTOLOMA 
N. Y. State Mus. Rep’t 24, p.65, pl.4, fig.6-9 
Pileus thin, conic or campanulate, subacute or with a minute 
papilla or small cusp at the apex, glabrous, moist, salmon color, 
the margin sometimes uneven or iobed; lamellae broad, swbdistant, 
ventricose, salmon color; stem slender, equal, glabrous, hollow, 
colored like the pileus; spores subglobose, angular, .0004-.0005 of 
an inch in diameter. 7 
Pileus 8-15 lines broad; stem 3-6 inches, long, 1-2 lines thick. 
Gregarious. Damp ground in dense woods, specially under spruce

Pileus thin, conic or campanulate, moist, shining, glabrous, with 
a distinct cusp at the apex, pale yellow, the thin margin exceeding 
the lamellae, often irregular or slightly lobed; lamellae ascending, 
broad, subdistant, narrowed toward the stem, adnexed, often eroded

Closely allied to E. salmoneum Pk. from which it scarcely

veloped cusp of the pileus. In both, the moist pileus is sometimes 
striatulate, the position of the lamellae being faintly shown through
