RUSSULA REDIVIVA. 
103 
Stem of a rose -tint, especially at the summit, and often only on 
one side ; the base takes a yellow tint. It is 1 J-2|- in. long, 7-9 
lines thick, the foot slightly curved and thickened. The flesh the 
same as the pileus. The stem is soft, the interior soon destroyed. 
The odour a little penetrating. 
Gills white, taking soon a yellowish glance, changing. In 
perishing it offers yellow spots, especially at the edge of the pileus. 
They are very numerous, concave or convex, following the inflexion 
of the pileus, annexed, slender, anastomosing, bifid, 2-3 lines 
broad, with tile largest breadth at the middle. — Seer. 509. 
Obs. — Of the two forms which occur, the yellow is most common 
in this country ; the red is represented in the figures of Bresadola 
and Schajffer, and one of the figures of Krombholz. — M. C. C.
