spores. The stem and gills are white, the cap is nearly so. It has a 

 watery white appearance when moist. The plants grow in clusters, 

 several stems rising from a large whitish fleshy mass, by which 

 character it is at once distinguished from all our other species of 

 Tricholoma. 



The taste is mild and there is no decided odor. The flesh is 

 tender and of excellent flavor when properly cooked. The cap is 

 1-2 inches broad and the stem 1-2 inches long and 3-5 lines thick. 

 It grows under hemlock trees and was found in Horicon, Warren 

 co. in July. 



Lactarius rimosellus n. sp. 



RIMULOSE LACTARIUS 

 PLATE 95, FIG. 1-6 



Pileus thin but firm, broadly convex, nearly plane or centrally 

 depressed, dry, azonate, usually with a central papilla or minute 

 umbo, minutely rimulose areolate, vinaceous cinnamon, flesh 

 whitish, milk scanty, watery, taste mild; lamellae thin, narrow, 

 close, decurrent, pallid or yellowish when young, colored nearly 

 like the pileus when mature; stem slender, firm, equal or nearly 

 so, glabrous, hollow, colored like the pileus; spores white, faintly 

 tinged with yellow, subglobose, .0003-. 0003 5 of an inch broad. 



The rimulose lactarius is very closely related to the camphory 

 lactarius, Lactarius camphoratus, resembling it in 

 color, size and odor, but differing from it in the rimulose areolate 

 cuticle and specially in its scanty watery milk. It is a small 

 species having a cap that is 10-18 lines broad and a stem about 1 

 inch long and 2 lines thick. It grows on bare soil in woods or on 

 banks of earth by roadsides. Wading River. August.

 THIN JUICED LACTARIUS 

 PLATE 95, FIG. 7-1 I 



Pileus fleshy, firm, broadly convex becoming nearly plane or 

 centrally depressed, dry, glabrous, azonate, vinaceous cinnamon, 

 flesh whitish, milk watery, taste mild; lamellae thin, narrow, close, 

 adnate or slightly decurrent, whitish when young, darker when 

 mature; stem mostly short, equal or slightly tapering upward, 

 solid, glabrous, colored like or a little paler than the pileus; spores 

 globose or nearly so, white faintly tinged with yellow, .0003-. 0004 

 of an inch broad. 



The thin juiced lactarius has been found by me on Long Island 

 only. It grows among fallen leaves in woods and shaded places 

 and occurs in July and August. Its cap is firm in texture, broadly
