  spaces 
  venose. 
  The 
  stem 
  is 
  sometimes 
  white, 
  but 
  generally 
  it 
  is 
  

   colored 
  like 
  the 
  pileus 
  or 
  a 
  little 
  paler. 
  There 
  are 
  several 
  species 
  

   which 
  have 
  the 
  pileus 
  similarly 
  colored, 
  among 
  which 
  are 
  R. 
  purpurea 
  

   Gill., 
  R. 
  Queletii 
  Gill., 
  R. 
  expallens 
  Gill, 
  and 
  R. 
  drimeia 
  Cke., 
  but 
  from 
  

   all 
  these, 
  which 
  are 
  acrid, 
  it 
  is 
  distinct 
  by 
  its 
  mild 
  taste. 
  Sometimes 
  

   the 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  pileus 
  fades 
  with 
  age 
  and 
  then 
  the 
  appearance 
  is 
  

   very 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  R. 
  depallens 
  Fr. 
  as 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  figures 
  in 
  

   Illust. 
  of 
  British 
  Fungi, 
  plate 
  1021. 
  But 
  that 
  species 
  has 
  a 
  viscid 
  

   pileus 
  and 
  the 
  stem 
  varies 
  from 
  white 
  to 
  cinereous. 
  It 
  has 
  not 
  the 
  

   red 
  or 
  purplish 
  hues 
  of 
  the 
  stem 
  of 
  our 
  plant.

  This 
  fungus 
  has 
  been 
  tested 
  and 
  found 
  to 
  

   be 
  edible. 
  

  

  Hydnum 
  Caput-ursi 
  Fr. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  not 
  rare 
  in 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  forests. 
  It 
  grows 
  on 
  old 
  

   trunks 
  of 
  deciduous 
  trees 
  either 
  prostrate 
  or 
  standing 
  and 
  sometimes 
  

   attains 
  a 
  large 
  size, 
  being 
  six 
  or 
  eight 
  inches 
  high 
  and 
  nearly 
  as 
  

   broad, 
  with 
  aculei 
  an 
  inch 
  long. 
  Small 
  forms 
  have 
  shorter 
  teeth 
  and 
  

   might 
  easily 
  be 
  mistaken 
  for 
  H. 
  coralloides 
  if 
  not 
  carefully 
  observed. 
  

   I 
  have 
  eaten 
  of 
  it 
  and 
  find 
  it 
  very 
  good, 
  but 
  scarcely 
  as 
  well-flavored 
  

   as 
  H. 
  coralloides. 
  

  

  Thelephora

  A 
  form 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  pileus 
  is 
  entire 
  

   is 
  not 
  rare. 
  To 
  distinguish 
  it 
  from 
  the 
  typical 
  form 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  

   called 
  variety 
  Integra.

  This 
  is 
  the 
  second 
  time 
  and 
  the 
  second 
  locality 
  in 
  our 
  State 
  in 
  

   which 
  this 
  very 
  rare 
  and 
  interesting 
  phalloid 
  fungus 
  has 
  been 
  found. 
  

   Successive 
  crops 
  of 
  it 
  appeared 
  in 
  this 
  place 
  during 
  an 
  interval 
  of 
  

   several 
  weeks.
