respectively to three others that they might easily be regarded as 
mere varieties rather than as distinct species. An analytical table is

Pileus moist, glabrous, cuticle not separable... 6 
Pileus dry. 9

Pileus fleshy, somewhat tough, convex becoming plane or some¬ 
times slightly depressed, even, viscose, often adorned with a few 
inconspicuous appressed spot-like scales, yellowish-red or tawny 
with a paler or yellowish margin, flesh white; lamellae close, adnate
