  Pileus 
  thin, 
  submembranaceous, 
  coriaceous, 
  fibrous, 
  subinfundi- 
  

   buliform, 
  sometimes 
  dimidiate, 
  slightly 
  uneven 
  with 
  radiating 
  

   fibrous 
  ridges, 
  pallid 
  with 
  a 
  slight 
  cervine 
  or 
  rufescent 
  tint, 
  some- 
  

   what 
  shining, 
  the 
  thin 
  margin 
  erect, 
  spreading 
  or 
  decurved, 
  

   slightly 
  wavy 
  or 
  uneven 
  on 
  the 
  edge 
  and 
  often 
  incised 
  or 
  laciniate 
  ; 
  

   hymenium 
  even 
  or 
  slightly 
  radiately 
  uneven, 
  decurrent, 
  from 
  pale 
  

   buff 
  to 
  ochraceous 
  buff 
  ; 
  stem 
  short, 
  tough, 
  solid, 
  minutely 
  tomen- 
  

   tose 
  or 
  pruinose 
  tomentose, 
  subcinereous 
  ; 
  spores 
  minute, 
  hyaline, 
  

   even, 
  globose 
  or 
  subglobose,

  Sometimes 
  the 
  pilei 
  of 
  two 
  or 
  more 
  plants 
  growing 
  close 
  

   together 
  are 
  confluent. 
  When 
  well 
  developed 
  the 
  pileus 
  has 
  a 
  

   central 
  stem, 
  but 
  sometimes 
  one 
  third 
  or 
  one 
  hali 
  is 
  wanting 
  and 
  

   then 
  the 
  stem 
  is 
  lateral 
  though 
  the 
  pileus 
  is 
  usually 
  erect. 
  In 
  

   such 
  cases 
  the 
  pileus 
  often 
  appears 
  as 
  if 
  perforate 
  and 
  the 
  upper 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  stem 
  as 
  if 
  hollow. 
  This 
  very 
  distinct 
  species 
  is 
  dedi- 
  

   cated 
  to 
  Prof. 
  E. 
  A. 
  Burt 
  who 
  has 
  made 
  a 
  special 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  

   group 
  of 
  fungi 
  to 
  which 
  it 
  belongs 
  and 
  to 
  whom 
  I 
  am 
  under 
  obliga- 
  

   tions 
  for 
  aid 
  in 
  the 
  identification 
  of 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  species.

  Pileus 
  broadly 
  campanulate 
  becoming 
  convex, 
  umbonate, 
  

   obscurely 
  fibrillose, 
  yellow, 
  flesh 
  white; 
  lamellae 
  close, 
  emargin- 
  

   ate, 
  adnexed, 
  white; 
  stem 
  equal 
  or 
  slightly 
  tapering 
  upward, 
  

   solid, 
  fibrillose, 
  yellow, 
  whitish 
  at 
  the 
  pointed 
  base, 
  white 
  within 
  ; 
  

   spores 
  globose,

  Pileus 
  2-4 
  inches 
  broad; 
  stem 
  3-4 
  inches 
  long, 
  4-8 
  lines 
  thick.

  This 
  is 
  a 
  beautiful 
  but 
  apparently 
  a 
  very 
  rare 
  species. 
  It 
  

   belongs 
  to 
  the 
  second 
  group 
  of 
  section 
  Sericella. 
  It 
  is 
  related 
  to 
  

   T. 
  chrysenterum 
  and 
  T. 
  chrysenteroides, 
  but 
  

   may 
  be 
  distinguished 
  from 
  them 
  by 
  its 
  white 
  flesh 
  and 
  lamellae.
