﻿REPORT 
  OF 
  STATE 
  BOTAXTST,

  by 
  Massee 
  who 
  considered 
  it 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  Russula 
  puellaris 
  and 
  named 
  

   it 
  Russula 
  puellaris 
  roscipcs. 
  Though 
  having 
  points 
  of 
  resemblance 
  

   to 
  both 
  R. 
  alutacca 
  and 
  R. 
  puellaris 
  it 
  seems 
  better 
  to 
  us 
  to 
  retain 
  it 
  

   as 
  a 
  distinct 
  species. 
  It 
  is 
  not 
  common 
  in 
  our 
  state, 
  having 
  been 
  

   collected 
  in 
  Albany 
  and 
  Saratoga 
  counties 
  only. 
  Its 
  distinguishing 
  

   characters 
  are 
  its 
  mild 
  taste, 
  its 
  rosy 
  cap 
  which 
  is 
  commonly 
  dry 
  

   and 
  but 
  lightly 
  striate 
  on 
  the 
  margin, 
  its 
  gills 
  changing 
  from 
  whitish 
  

   to 
  yellow 
  or 
  subochraceous 
  and 
  being 
  slightly 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  stem 
  

   and 
  its 
  stem 
  being 
  slightly 
  stained 
  with 
  rosy 
  red. 
  

  

  From 
  R. 
  alutacca 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  separated 
  by 
  its 
  smaller 
  size, 
  more 
  

   narrow 
  and 
  slightly 
  attached 
  gills 
  and 
  by 
  its 
  less 
  highly 
  colored 
  gills 
  

   and 
  spores. 
  From 
  R. 
  puellaris, 
  which 
  it 
  resembles 
  in 
  size, 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  

   distinguished 
  by 
  not 
  having 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  cap 
  more 
  highly 
  

   colored 
  than 
  the 
  rest 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  rosy 
  tint 
  of 
  the 
  stem. 
  In 
  the 
  

   European 
  plant 
  the 
  stem 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  sprinkled 
  with 
  a 
  rosy 
  meali- 
  

   ness 
  or 
  pruinosity, 
  but 
  in 
  our 
  plant 
  the 
  color 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  in 
  the 
  

   stem 
  itself. 
  

  

  The 
  cap 
  is 
  i 
  to 
  2 
  in. 
  broad, 
  the 
  stem 
  is 
  ij 
  to 
  2 
  in. 
  long 
  

   and 
  3 
  to 
  4 
  lines 
  thick. 
  The 
  plants 
  grow 
  in 
  woods 
  of 
  pine 
  and 
  hem- 
  

   lock 
  and 
  have 
  been 
  collected 
  in 
  July 
  and 
  August. 
  The 
  flesh 
  is 
  tender 
  

   and 
  agreeable 
  in 
  flavor.

  ochrophylla

  interspaces 
  

   somewhat 
  venose;

  equal 
  or 
  nearly 
  so,

  The 
  ochery-gilled 
  Russula 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  fine 
  species 
  but 
  not 
  a 
  common 
  

   one. 
  It 
  differs 
  but 
  little 
  in 
  color 
  and 
  size 
  from 
  the 
  European 
  pun-
