11. Gymnopilus sapineus (Fries) 



Flammula sapinea (Fries) Quel. Champ. Jura Vosg. 98. 1872. 



This species differs little from G. penetrans. Fries combined 

 the two in his Systema, but later separated them again. The 

 points of difference as he states them and also figures them are, 

 as follows: G. penetrans is glabrous, with sinuate gills, which 

 become fulvous-spotted, and a long stipe with white base and' 

 reddish-brown interior. G. sapineus is slightly floccose-squamu- 

 lose, becoming rimose, with adnate gills, and short stipe not white 

 at the base and yellow within. Cooke's figures of G. sapineus 

 seem to agree well with Fries' figures of G. penetrans.
