“ With the habit of C. armeniacus , but smaller and of a brighter 
colour, readily distinguished — especially by the yellow veil ; stem 
firm, stuffed, 1J to 3 in. long, 3 to 4 lines thick, quite equal, ex- 
ternally rather cartilaginous, but wholly splitting into fibrils ; 
colour of the pileus yellowish, growing pallid, then fulvous ; veil 
lax, fibrillose, fugacious, yellow ; pileus slightly fleshy, firm, convex, 
then plane, obtuse or gibbous, 1 to 2 in. broad, quite smooth, 
shining, when moist ferruginous, fulvous, when dry ochraceons, 
usually with the disc becoming pale ; flesh thin, splitting, paler ; 
gills adnate, but also seceding and free, rather crowded, entire, at 
first pallid cinnamon, then fulvous ; spores dark ochre ; odour 
faint, not at all radish-like.” — Fr. Mon. n., 104. 
Paxillus panseolus, Fr. Hym. Eur., 402. 
Pileus thin, convex, plane, then rather depressed, smooth, moist, 
whitish, margin involute, thin ; stem stuffed, striate fibrillose, 
rufescent, incrassated downwards ; gills slightly decurrent, 
crowded, narrow, at length watery ferruginous. — Hoffm. Icon,

On the ground in pine woods, &c. ( C . Bucknall). 
lt Somewhat gregarious, at first externally and internally wholly 
dirty white, then becoming yellowish, gills at length watery cin- 
namon ; stem fleshy, stuffed, 1 inch, or a little more, long, 3 lines 
thick, striate fibrillose, thickened below ; pileus fleshy, compact, 
convex, then expanded, and somewhat depressed, even, smooth, 
spotted when moist, 1 to 2 in. broad ; margin thin, involute, 
villose ; gills slightly decurrent, crowded, narrow, rather veined at 
the base, separated by a horny line from the pileus ; spores watery 
ferruginous.” — Fr. Mon. n., p. 117. Gills readily separating;

White. Pileus fleshy, tough, convex, then a little depressed, 
repand, without zones, rugulose, smooth ; stem stuffed, smooth, 
becoming discoloured ; gills adnate , very narrow, horizontal, much 
crowded , branched, white, then straw-coloured ; milk acrid, white. — 
Batsch,fig. 59. 
In woods. Hayward Forest, Epping, &c. 
“ Wholly white, filled with a very acrid white milk. Allied to 
L. piperatus, from which it differs in the stuffed stem, at length 
softer within, elongated (3 in.), unequal, attenuated downwards, 
and ascending, entirely smooth ; pileus thinner, tough, elastic, 
often irregular and excentric, sometimes flexuous, at first convex 
(not umbilicate), then becoming plane, surface quite smooth, but 
unpolished, and in a peculiar manner rugose ; gills adnate, either 
decurrent, very much crowded, very narrow (scarce 1 line broad), 
always straight and horizontal, or arcuate, or inclined upwards, 
soon straw-coloured ; flesh very milky, but the gills slightly.” — 
Fries Mon. n., 166. 
Not uncommon, but hitherto confounded with L. piperatus.
