20. u R. heterophylla, Fr., Hym. Eur., p. 446; Stev., B. F., p. 
123; Sace. Syll., Vol. Y, p. 465. Pileus very variable in color, but never 
becoming reddish or purple, tieshy, firm, convexoplane, then depressed, 
even polished, the very thin pellicle disappearing, margin thin, even or 
densely but slightly striate; flesh white. Stem solid, firm, somewhat 
equal, even shining white. Gills reaching the stem in an attenuated form, 
very narrow, very crowded, forked and dimidiate, shining white. Taste 
always mild, as in R. cyanoxantha, from which it differs in its smaller 
stature, in the pileus being thinner, even, never reddish or purplish, 
with a thin, closely adnate pellicle, in the stem being firm and so lid, and 
in the gills being thin, very narrow, very crowded, etc. The apex of the 
stem is occasionally dilated in the form of a cup, so that the gills appear 
remote. In woods. Common. July to October.

Of the same edible qualities as the preceding; sometimes of a green- 
isli-gray color. R. furcata, the only species of a disagreeable flavor 
having a green pileus, is distinguished by its uniform color and distant 
gills, as contrasted with the mottled tints and crowded gills of the 
former. North Carolina and Pennsylvania, in moist woods (A. lividus,

21. “R. consobrina, Fr., Hym. Eur., p. 447; Stev., B. F., p. 123 • 
Sacc. Syll, Yol. Y, p. 466. Pileus 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) broad, 
dark-cinereous or fuscous olivaceous, fleshy, fragile, campanulate then 
expanded, at length depressed, margin spreading, even, though mem¬ 
branaceous ; flesh — white, cinereous, under the thick, viscous , separable 
pellicle. Stem 2-3 inches (5-7.5 centimeters) long, almost 1 inch (2.5 
centimeters) thick, solid, but soft , equal, even, smooth, shining, white, 
at length becoming cinereous. Gills at the first free, then appearing 
adnate when the pileus is flattened, brond, crowded, shining, white, 
very many of them dimidiate and forked. Taste very acrid. Not fetid. 
Stature in general that of R. emetica, but differing in the color of the 
pileus, and in the very unequal gills. In mixed woods. October.
