=R. depal´lens= Pers.—_palleo_, to be pale. =Pileus= 3–4 in. across, pallid-reddish or inclining to dingy-brown, etc., fleshy, firm, convex, then plane, more rarely depressed, but commonly _irregularly shaped and undulated_, even, the thin, adnate pellicle presently changing color, especially at the disk, the spreading margin even, but slightly striate when old. =Flesh= white. =Stem= about 1½ in. long, solid, firm, commonly attenuated downward, _white, becoming cinereous_ when old. =Gills= adnexed, broad, crowded, distinct, but commonly forked at the base, often with shorter ones intermixed. Inodorous, taste mild. The color of the pileus is at first pallid-reddish, or inclining to brownish, then whitish or yellowish, opaque in every stage of growth. It approaches nearest to the Heterophyllæ. _Fries._ In beech woods, pastures, etc. August to September. =Spores= subglobose, echinulate, 7–8µ _Massee_. R. depallens somewhat resembles R. heterophylla. Both are edible. It is a solitary grower and not common, but when found it occurs in good quantity. It belongs to the best class of Russulæ. =R. subdepal´lens= Pk.—_sub_, _de_ and _palleo_, to be pale. =Pileus= fleshy, at first convex and striate on the margin, then expanded or centrally depressed and tuberculate-striate on the margin, viscid, blood-red or purplish red, mottled with yellowish spots, becoming paler or almost white with age, often irregular. =Flesh= fragile, white, becoming cinereous with age, reddish under the cuticle, taste mild. =Lamellæ= broad, subdistant, adnate, white or whitish, the interspaces venose. =Stem= stout, solid but spongy within, persistently white. =Spores= white, globose, rough, 8µ broad. =Pileus= 3–6 in. broad. =Stem= 1.5–3 in. long, 6–12 lines thick. Under a hickory tree. Trexlertown, Pa. June. _W. Herbst._ Closely related to Russula depallens, from which it differs in having the margin of the pileus striate at first and more strongly so when mature, also in the pileus being spotted at first, the gills more distant, the stem persistently white and the spores white. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club. Vol. 23, No. 10. October, 1896. I do not doubt its edibility. See R. depallens. =R. ochrophyl´la= Pk.—_ochra_, a yellow earth; _phyllon_, a leaf. =Pileus= 2–4 in. broad, firm, convex becoming nearly plane or slightly depressed in the center, even or rarely very slightly striate on the margin when old, purple or dark purplish red. =Flesh= white, purplish under the adnate cuticle, taste mild. =Gills= entire, a few of them forked at the base, subdistant, adnate, at first yellowish, becoming bright ochraceous buff when mature, dusted by the spores, the interspaces somewhat venose. =Stem= equal or nearly so, solid or spongy within, reddish or rosy tinted, paler than the pileus. =Spores= bright ochraceous buff, globose-verruculose, 10µ broad.
