  The 
  whole 
  plant, 
  except 
  the 
  upper 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  pileus, 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  

   beautiful 
  yellow 
  color. 
  The 
  stem 
  is 
  sometimes 
  more 
  highly 
  colored 
  

   than 
  the 
  tubes. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  referable 
  to 
  the 
  tribe 
  Edules.

  The 
  spores 
  in 
  our 
  plant 
  are 
  

   broader 
  than 
  the 
  dimension 
  given 
  in 
  the 
  description. 
  They 
  are 
  .0005 
  

   in. 
  long 
  and 
  .00024

  In 
  other 
  respects 
  the 
  agreement 
  with 
  the 
  

   description 
  is 
  very 
  close.

  This 
  species 
  resembles 
  small 
  dark 
  colored 
  forms 
  of 
  B. 
  chrysenterotty 
  

   and 
  this 
  resemblance 
  is 
  still 
  more 
  noticeable 
  in 
  those 
  specimens 
  in 
  

   which 
  the 
  pileus 
  cracks 
  in 
  areas, 
  for 
  in 
  these 
  the 
  chinks 
  become 
  red 
  

   as 
  in 
  that 
  species. 
  The 
  different 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  stem 
  and 
  tubes 
  will 
  at 
  

   once 
  separate 
  these 
  species.
