  the 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  pileus, 
  leaving 
  the 
  stem 
  without 
  an 
  annulus. 
  Were 
  

   it 
  not 
  for 
  the 
  rusty 
  tint 
  to 
  the 
  spores 
  such 
  specimens 
  might 
  easily 
  be 
  

   referred 
  to 
  the 
  genus 
  Hypholoma. 
  

  

  Lactarius 
  aquifluus 
  Pk. 
  

  

  This 
  plant 
  is 
  sometimes 
  csespitose. 
  The 
  pileus 
  when 
  dry 
  is 
  tawny- 
  

   gray 
  and 
  squamulose 
  or 
  rimulose-squamulose. 
  The 
  margin 
  may 
  be 
  

   even 
  or 
  coarsely 
  sulcate-striate. 
  The 
  flesh 
  is 
  grayish 
  or 
  reddish-gray. 
  

   The 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  lamellae 
  varies 
  from 
  creamy-white 
  to 
  tawny-yellow. 
  

   The 
  stem 
  often 
  has 
  a 
  conspicuous 
  white 
  myceHoid 
  tomentum 
  at 
  its 
  

   base. 
  I 
  have 
  never 
  found 
  this 
  plant 
  with 
  a 
  white 
  or 
  milky 
  juice, 
  and 
  

   therefore 
  I 
  am 
  disposed 
  to 
  regard 
  it 
  not 
  as 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  L. 
  helvus, 
  but 
  

   as 
  a 
  distinct 
  species. 
  Its 
  mild 
  taste 
  and 
  agreeable 
  odor 
  suggested 
  a 
  

   trial 
  of 
  its 
  edible 
  qualities. 
  It 
  is 
  harmless, 
  but 
  the 
  lack 
  of 
  flavor 
  in- 
  

   duces 
  me 
  to 
  omit 
  it 
  from 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  edible 
  species.

  A 
  notable 
  form 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  was 
  found 
  growing 
  in 
  an 
  old 
  stable 
  

   of 
  an 
  abandoned 
  lumber 
  camp. 
  The 
  plants 
  were 
  large, 
  the 
  pileus 
  in 
  

   some 
  being 
  more 
  than 
  an 
  inch 
  broad, 
  the 
  stems 
  were 
  three 
  to 
  six 
  

   inches 
  long 
  and 
  the 
  color 
  was 
  ferruginous 
  as 
  in 
  G. 
  ovalis, 
  to 
  which 
  

   the 
  plants 
  might 
  be 
  referred 
  but 
  for 
  the 
  large 
  spores.

  hav- 
  

   ing 
  the

  merely 
  downy 
  or 
  punctate-hairy 
  under 
  a

  no 
  

   squamules 
  being 
  distinguishable 
  by 
  the 
  naked 
  eye.

  The
