  The 
  flavor 
  of 
  this 
  mushroom 
  is 
  not 
  at 
  first 
  disagreeable, 
  but 
  an 
  

   unpleasant 
  burning 
  sensation 
  is 
  left 
  in 
  the 
  mouth 
  for 
  a 
  considerable 
  

   time 
  after 
  tasting. 
  It 
  is 
  therefore 
  to 
  be 
  regarded 
  with 
  suspicion.

  Pileus 
  thin, 
  varying 
  from 
  broadly 
  conical 
  to 
  convex 
  or 
  nearly 
  

   plane, 
  often 
  irregular 
  from 
  its 
  crowded 
  or 
  caespitose 
  mode 
  of 
  growth, 
  

   even, 
  covered 
  with 
  a 
  grayish 
  pruinosity, 
  hygrophanous, 
  blackish 
  

   when 
  moist, 
  grayish-brown 
  when 
  dry, 
  the 
  thin 
  even 
  margin 
  at 
  first 
  

   incurved 
  and 
  slightly 
  tinged 
  with 
  red, 
  extending 
  beyond 
  the 
  lamellae; 
  

   lamellae 
  moderately 
  close, 
  rounded 
  behind 
  and 
  slightly 
  adnexed, 
  

   often 
  becoming 
  ventricose 
  with 
  the 
  expansion 
  of 
  the 
  pileus, 
  more 
  or 
  

   less 
  serrate 
  on 
  the 
  margin, 
  whitish 
  then 
  flesh-colored; 
  stem 
  equal, 
  

   often 
  flexuose, 
  stuffed 
  or 
  hollow, 
  reddish-brown 
  or 
  blackish 
  ;

  This 
  fungus 
  has 
  the 
  fishy 
  odor 
  of 
  such 
  species 
  as 
  Nolanea 
  nigripes 
  

   and 
  N. 
  pisciodora, 
  to 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  closely 
  related, 
  but 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  dif- 
  

   fers 
  in 
  its 
  glabrous 
  or 
  merely 
  pruinose 
  pileus 
  and 
  in 
  its 
  coloration. 
  

   We 
  have 
  referred 
  it 
  to 
  N. 
  picea, 
  although 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  some 
  minor 
  par- 
  

   ticulars 
  from 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  that 
  species. 
  On 
  this 
  account 
  we 
  

   have 
  recorded 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  our 
  plant 
  as 
  made 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  the 
  

   coJjection 
  of 
  the 
  specimens. 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  seen 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  papilla 
  

   on 
  the 
  pileus 
  in 
  our 
  plant, 
  yet 
  this 
  is 
  given 
  as 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  characters 
  

   of 
  the 
  European 
  species. 
  Still 
  the 
  figures 
  of 
  it 
  as 
  given 
  by 
  Kalch- 
  

   brenner 
  himself 
  and 
  also 
  by 
  Gillet 
  show 
  no 
  papilla, 
  and 
  for 
  this 
  reason 
  

   especially 
  we 
  have 
  the 
  more 
  confidently 
  considered 
  our 
  plant 
  as 
  

   sj^ecifically 
  the 
  same.
