RUSSULA REDIVIVA. 
Spores 8-10 x 6-8 /x (Britz.), 8-10 x 6-8 /x (Sacc.), 10 X 8 /x 
(M. C. C.). 
The following species of Secretan is referred here doubtfully by 
Fries : — 
R. roseo-granulatus. Seer. 513. 
var. A. Pileus bleached in the centre, washed with rose, more 
or less lively at the margin. It is subject to tesselate, the labyrin- 
thine compartments becoming reddish, the rosy part is distributed 
in mealy patches. At length the colour sometimes gives the whole 
pileus a bistre tint. It approaches convex, the centre a little 
depressed, then plane, and finally concave, the margin festooned 
with a few striae. Diam. 3 in. Flesh white, firm, 4 lines. 
Stem white, compact, sometimes covered with a weak rose tint, 
2 in. long, 6 lines thick, the summit thickened, as an arch, a 
little curved, and augmented at the base. It is soft in old age. 
This species is dry and solid. 
Gills white, numerous, 3 lines, slender, straight or convex, leaving 
an empty space round the stem, with a sort of gorge (channel). 
Under pines. 
var. B. I found under pines a variety with the pileus entirely 
white and mealy, diam. 3^ in. ; the flesh reached a thickness of 5 
lines, the gills turning yellowish, the stem becoming wholly rose. 
We observed, in old age, the stem and gills with spots of jonquil 
yellow, very remarkable. — Secretan.

Acrid. Pileus fleshy, rigid, convex, then flattened or depressed, 
polished when dry, becoming even; margin spreading, obtuse, 
without stria}, hard, stout, varying from white to red; gills obtusely 
adnate, somewhat crowded, whitish, forked and dimidiate ones 
intermixed. 
In woods. 
Very hard, rigid, flesh somewhat grumous, very distinct. Pileus, 
by reason of its intense vermilion colour, almost shining, but it 
occurs, also growing pale, rather tan coloured, and cracking; disc 
commonly darker. Flesh under the cuticle red. Gills when old 
turning yellowish, the edge often red. Seer. No. 506. Poisonous.

species in this tribe in the pijeus being polished, becoming even,
