Russula flavida Frost MS. 



"Pileus fleshy, convex, slightly depressed, unpolished, bright-yel- 

 low ; lamellae white, adnate, turning cinereous ; stem yellow, solid, 

 white at the extreme apex." 



Pileus fleshy, convex, then plane or slightly depressed, yellow, 

 becoming paler with age, flesh white, taste mild, the margin at first 

 even, then tubereulate-striate : lamellae nearly simple, subdistant and 

 broader before, adnate, white, the interspaces venose ; stem short, 

 equal or tapering upward, firm, glabrous, solid or merely spongy 

 within, yellow ; spores globose, .00025 to .0003 in. in diameter. 



Plant gregarious, 1 to 2 in. high, pileus 1 to 2 in. broad, stem 4 to 

 6 lines thick. 



Grassy places in copses and open woods. Sandlake. July. 



The species belongs to the section Rigid^e. The pileus is dry and 

 sometimes slightly mealy or granular. When young it is bright-

Pileus at first broadly conical or subeonvex, then nearly plane, 

 subtomentose, red, becoming paler with age ; tubes convex, adnate 

 or slightly depressed about the stem, rather large, subrotund, pink- 

 ish-red, becoming sordid-yellow ; stem equal, smooth, yellow with 

 reddish stains ; spores oblong-fusiform, .0004 to .0005 in. long, .00016 

 broad. 



Plant about 2 in. high, pileus 1 to 2 in. broad, stem 2 to 3 Hues 

 thick. 



Woods. Gansevoort. August. 



Apparently related to B. rubinus, and also resembling B. piperatus, 

 but the stem is differently colored, and I have not found the pileus 

 at all viscid. 



Tremella subearnosa. 



Small, tufted, compressed, irregular, wavy or contorted, subcar- 

 nose, externally gelatinous, whitish or pinkish-alutaceous, becoming 

 brownish-incarnate and somewhat glaucous when dry ; spores ob- 

 ovate, pointed at one end, .0002 to .0003 in. long, .00016 broad. 



Tufts 2 to 4 lines high and about as broad.
