 even, dingy pnrple -with an olive tLnge, or entirely brovrcIiL- 

 olive ; gills adnexed, broad, forked and mixed -with shorter

In pine "woods, &c 



A well-marked, species, 'iistingiiished.by the daTk-colonred. 

 minutely broken np sTrfece of the pilens, rose-coloured stem, 

 and yellow gflls. Differs from B. rubra in the deeper yellow 

 gills and the unpolished pileus. B. alutaeea diSers in the 

 striate and tnberculose margin of the pileus : the i-ame 

 features along with the powdered gills separate B. integra 

 from the present species.
