  toward 
  the 
  base*. 
  They 
  have 
  a 
  fibrous 
  texture 
  externally 
  and 
  are 
  

   smooth 
  and 
  somewhat 
  shining. 
  In 
  our 
  specimens 
  they 
  are 
  brown 
  

   and 
  darker 
  than 
  the 
  cap. 
  

  

  The 
  cap 
  is 
  i 
  to 
  2J 
  in. 
  broad, 
  the 
  stem 
  is 
  3 
  to 
  4 
  in. 
  long 
  and 
  

   2 
  to 
  4 
  lines 
  thick. 
  

  

  The 
  plants 
  grow 
  under 
  trees 
  and 
  appear 
  in 
  September. 
  In 
  Ohio 
  

   the 
  typical 
  form 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  grow 
  from 
  spring 
  till 
  late 
  autumn 
  and 
  to 
  

   form 
  clusters 
  of 
  20 
  to 
  50 
  individuals. 
  

  

  The 
  flavor 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  to 
  be 
  superior 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  honey-colored 
  

   armillaria.

  Plate 
  51, 
  lig. 
  6-11. 
  

  

  Pileus 
  fleshy, 
  convex 
  or 
  nearly 
  plane, 
  glabrous, 
  very 
  viscid 
  or 
  

   glutinous, 
  white, 
  pale 
  yellow 
  or 
  reddish 
  yellow 
  in 
  the 
  center, 
  flesh 
  

   white; 
  lamellae 
  adnate 
  or 
  decurrent, 
  subdistant, 
  white, 
  sometimes 
  

   with 
  a 
  slight 
  flesh-colored 
  tint, 
  the 
  interspaces 
  sometimes 
  venose; 
  

   stem 
  subequal, 
  soHd, 
  very 
  viscid 
  or 
  glutinous, 
  white 
  at 
  the 
  top, 
  

   white 
  or 
  yellowish 
  elsewhere; 
  spores 
  elliptic, 
  white, 
  .00025 
  to 
  .0003 
  

   in. 
  long, 
  .00016 
  to 
  .0002 
  broad. 
  

  

  The 
  yellow-disked 
  Hygrophorous 
  scarcely 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  sooty 
  

   Hygrophorous 
  in 
  any 
  respect 
  except 
  in 
  color. 
  It 
  is 
  sometimes 
  found 
  

   growing 
  with 
  it 
  in 
  pine 
  woods. 
  Both 
  appear 
  late 
  in 
  autumn. 
  The 
  

   cap 
  is 
  rather 
  thick 
  and 
  fleshy 
  in 
  the 
  center 
  but 
  thin 
  at 
  the 
  margin. 
  

   It 
  is 
  so 
  very 
  viscid 
  or 
  glutinous 
  that 
  when 
  dry 
  its 
  surface 
  is 
  smooth 
  

   and 
  shining 
  as 
  if 
  varnished. 
  The 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  disk 
  is 
  yellowish 
  or 
  

   reddish 
  yellow 
  but 
  the 
  margin 
  is 
  white. 
  

  

  The 
  interspaces 
  between 
  the 
  gills 
  are 
  distinct 
  and 
  sometimes 
  are 
  

   marked 
  by 
  cross 
  veins. 
  The 
  gills 
  are 
  white 
  or 
  nearly 
  white 
  and 
  are 
  

   attached 
  to 
  the 
  stem 
  or 
  run 
  down 
  upon 
  it. 
  

  

  The 
  stem 
  is 
  solid 
  and 
  externally 
  glutinous 
  except 
  a 
  short 
  space 
  

   at 
  the 
  top.

  the
