  This 
  plant 
  was 
  found 
  more 
  than 
  twenty-five 
  years 
  ago 
  and 
  has 
  not 
  

   since 
  been 
  detected. 
  Its 
  flavor 
  is 
  bitterish. 
  The 
  fibrils 
  of 
  the 
  veil 
  

   form 
  a 
  slight 
  fibrillose 
  annulus 
  on 
  the 
  stem 
  which 
  forms 
  a 
  lodging- 
  

   place 
  for 
  the 
  spores 
  and 
  becomes 
  stained 
  by 
  them.

  mountains.

  The 
  plants 
  are 
  gregarious 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  mycelium 
  they 
  adhere 
  closely 
  

   to 
  chips 
  and 
  fragments 
  of 
  wood 
  from 
  which 
  they 
  grow 
  and 
  which 
  

   are 
  usually 
  pulled 
  up 
  with 
  them 
  when 
  they 
  are 
  gathered. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  

   smaller 
  plant 
  than 
  the 
  preceding 
  one 
  and 
  has 
  the 
  dry 
  pileus 
  and 
  

   shorter 
  stem 
  paler 
  in 
  color. 
  

  

  Sapineae. 
  

  

  Pileus 
  not 
  viscose; 
  lamellae 
  at 
  first 
  yellow 
  or 
  yellowish; 
  veil 
  almost 
  

   none 
  or 
  fibrillose, 
  not 
  appendiculate; 
  spores 
  tawny 
  or 
  ochraceous. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  tribe 
  grow 
  especially 
  on 
  decaying 
  wood 
  of 
  pine 
  

   and 
  other 
  coniferous 
  trees 
  or 
  on 
  theground 
  about 
  or 
  under 
  them.
