=H. chry´sodon= Fr. _Gr_—gold; a tooth. From tooth-like squamules. =Pileus= 2–3 in. broad, _white_, shining when dry, but commonly yellowish with minute adpressed squamules at the disk, light yellow-_flocculose at the involute margin_, fleshy, convex then plane, obtuse, viscid. =Flesh= white, sometimes reddish. =Stem= 2–3 in. long, about ½ in. thick, stuffed, soft, somewhat equal (sometimes, however, irregularly shaped or thickened at the base), white, with minute _light yellow squamules_, which are more crowded and arranged in the form of a ring _toward the apex_. =Gills= decurrent, distant, 3 lines broad, thin, white, somewhat yellowish at the edge, sometimes crisped. Odor not unpleasant. There is a manifest _veil_, not woven into a continuous ring, but _collected in the form of floccose squamules at the apex of the stem and the margin of the pileus_. Var. leucodon with white squamules. _Fries._ In woods. The lamellæ are said to be crisped, and when young, to have the edge yellow-floccose; but I have seen no such specimens. _Peck_, 23d Rep. N.Y. State Bot. =Spores= 8×4µ _Cooke_. West Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. _McIlvaine._ A pleasant, excellent species, whose rarity is regrettable. =H. ebur´neus= Bull. Fr.—_ebur_, ivory. Wholly _shining white_. =Pileus= fleshy, sometimes thin, sometimes somewhat compact, convexo-plane, somewhat repand, even, _very glutinous_ in rainy weather, _margin soon naked_. =Stem= sometimes short, sometimes elongated, stuffed then hollow, unequal, _glutinous_ like the pileus, _rough at the apex with dots in the form of squamules_. =Gills= decurrent, distant, veined at the base, 3–4 lines broad, tense and straight, quite entire. _Fries._ Odor mild, not unpleasant. Very changeable. The veil is absent, unless the _very plentiful gluten_ which envelops the stem be regarded as a universal veil; _margin of the young pileus_ involute, only at the first _pubescent_, _soon naked_. The stem is soft internally, at length hollow, attenuated toward the base. In woods and pastures. Frequent. September to October. _Stevenson._ The whole plant is pure white when fresh, but in drying the gills assume a cinnamon-brown hue. _Peck_, Rep. 26. =Spores= 6×5µ _Cooke_; 4×5µ _W.G.S._; 5–6µ _K._; 6×4µ _C.B.P._ A common and wide-spread species frequenting woods and pastures. Edible. _Curtis._ The author ate it in West Virginia, in 1882; at Devon, Pa., 1887; Haddonfield, N.J., 1890. It is well flavored but in texture is not of first quality.
