SUBSECTIOX CAMAROPHYLL1 391 



dermium rather distinct. Pileus trama of hyphae which arc disposed 

 radially. Clamp connections present on the cnticnlar and gill trama li\ 

 phae. 



Habit, Habitat, and Distribution — Singly, under fir and pine, 

 California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, Canada; also 

 Europe, August-November. 



Material Studied — California: Smith 8326, 8632, 8665, 9115. 

 Colorado: Kauffman, Tolland, Aug. 24 and Sept. 4, 1920. IDAHO: Smith 

 8209, 27492, 28117, 53561, 59650^ 60016, 60071. Washington: Smith 

 17622, 17808, 49181. Canada: (Quebec) Jackson, Oct. 1952. 

 Austria: Moser, Oct. 10, 1948 (Hesler 24127). 



Observations — This species has been made a variety of H. capri- 

 nus by some authors, but is now generally regarded as distinct. Both 

 H. calophylhis and H. camarophyllus, because of their divergent gill 

 trama, are properly included in the section Hygropliorus. 



Although the lamellae color varies from pinkish or rosy to white, 

 the pileus colors are generally umber to gray-brown. However, Smith 

 has one collection, No. 59650, from Idaho in which a salmon tint was 

 observed in the young pileus, the flesh, and young lamellae.
