** _Pileus colored or pallid, smooth, moist in wet weather._
=C. subzonal´is= Pk.—_sub_, under; _zonalis_, pertaining to a zone.
=Pileus= thin, centrally depressed or subinfundibuliform, marked with
two or three obscure zones, with a slight appressed silkiness, pale
yellow. =Gills= close, narrow, equally decurrent, some of them forked,
pallid or yellowish. =Stem= equal, slightly fibrillose, stuffed, pale
yellow.
=Plant= 2 in. high. =Pileus= 2–3 in. broad. =Stem= 2–3 lines thick.
Ground in woods. _Croghan._ September. _Peck_, 26th Rep. N.Y. State Bot.
Found in oak woods, Angora, West Philadelphia, growing singly. Specimens
few. Edible; pleasant.
=C. gil´va= Pers.—_gilvus_, pale brownish-yellow. =Pileus= 2–4 in.
broad, _pale yellowish, fleshy, compact, convex then depressed_, very
obtuse, even, smooth, _dampish when fresh_, polished and _shining_ when
dry, here and there spotted as with drops, the margin remaining long
involute. =Flesh= compact, not laxly floccose, but at length fragile,
_somewhat of the same color as the pileus_. =Stem= 1–2 in. and more
long, ½ in. and more thick, _solid, fleshy_, stout, not elastic,
somewhat equal, smooth, paler than the pileus, villous at the base.
=Gills= decurrent, thin, _very much crowded_, often _branched_, arcuate,
narrow, _pallid then ochraceous_.
Odor not remarkable. The stem has been noticed at length also hollow,
perhaps eroded by larvæ. It corresponds with the Paxilli. The primary
form, which is very different from all the rest, is curt, obese, robust,
scarcely ever infundibuliform. _Stevenson._
=Spores= 4–5×5µ _K._; 4–5µ _Massee_.
North Carolina, _Schweinitz_, _Curtis_; Pennsylvania, _Schweinitz_; New
York, _Peck_, R. 51, under pines. July to September.
Mt. Gretna, Pa. July, 1898, ground, mixed woods. _McIlvaine._
=Pileus= 1–2½ in. across, depressed, almost infundibuliform, smooth.
=Color= varied lemon to bright orange. =Flesh= lemon color throughout.
=Gills= varying in color, usually same color as pileus. =Stem= all of
one color, same as pileus, stuffed, sometimes short, and pointed,
sometimes thickened at base. Taste and smell pleasant. Edible; good.
=C. subinvolu´ta= Batsch.—turned under at the margin. =Pileus= brick
color, convex, depressed, smooth, margin closely involute. =Flesh=
pallid. =Stem= paler, stout, straight, somewhat equal, veined on the
lower part with oblique coalescing slightly elevated wrinkles, tomentose
and inclining to flesh color above toward the gills, base obtuse.
=Gills= decurrent, rather broad, of the same color as the pileus.
The stem is rough on the surface and destitute of luster. It resembles
Paxillus involutus in size and habit, in the crenate and involute margin
of the pileus, and in the stem being obsoletely veined at the base and
tomentose toward the gills. _Stevenson._
New England, _Frost_; New York, _Peck_, Rep. 22.
Edible, _Cooke_.
