Fig. 118. H. cinereipallens var. cinereipallens 



and dingy pileus when fresh distinguish it. It is similar to H. subpun- 

 gens; but the stipe does not change where handled, the gills do not be- 

 come clay color, and no pungent odor is present. Perhaps it is actually 

 most closely related to H. roseibrunneus and H. nemoreus, but differs 

 in the grayish colors.
