   This 
  species 
  is 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  E,

  t 
  a 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  

   may 
  be 
  separated 
  by 
  the 
  slight 
  reddening 
  of 
  the 
  flesh 
  where 
  

   wounded. 
  Our 
  specimens 
  are 
  a 
  peculiar 
  form 
  in 
  which 
  many 
  of 
  

   the 
  lamellae 
  are 
  forked 
  at 
  the 
  base. 
  They 
  also 
  separate 
  at 
  the 
  

   inner 
  extremity 
  from 
  the 
  stem 
  and 
  pileus 
  and 
  curl

   ing 
  the 
  hymenophore 
  beneath. 
  All 
  the 
  specimens 
  found 
  exhibited 
  

   this 
  character. 
  It 
  indicates 
  a 
  feeble 
  attachment 
  of 
  the 
  hymenium 
  

   to 
  the 
  hymenophore 
  and 
  is 
  suggestive 
  of 
  a 
  relationship 
  to 
  the 
  

   genus 
  Paxillus. 
  The 
  white 
  spores, 
  however, 
  show 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  

   referable

  that 
  genus.
