In pine and other woods. 



Inodorous. Fries mentions a form growing in pine woods 

 having the pileiis diy and zoneless, and the gUla deep yellow. 

 Agrees with L. chrysorrheus and L. capsicum, in the yellow 

 milk, but differs from both in the tawny-rufous stem. 



Pileus 1—3 in. broad, buff, sometimes slightly tinged with 

 tawny, at first hemispherical, dimpled, at length depressed 

 more or less zoned; margin wavy, involute and minutely 

 downy when young; flesh firm, crisp. Gills very slightly 

 decurrent, connected by veins, distant, by no means rigid, 

 salmon-coloured, slightly forked, about as broad as the flesh 

 of the pileus. AfilV -white, rather acrid, with a peculiar tast«, 

 changing instantly on exposure to air to a delicate but 

 beautiful yello-sv, as does -the whole plant when cut. Stem 

 li in. high, |— 1 in. thick, at first nearly white, obese, paler 

 than the pileus, downy at the base, more or less hollow.
