West Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania. _McIlvaine._ Grows in the West Virginia mountains, along with C. cibarius, and separate from it. It is more tender than C. cibarius, and not equal in flavor to those found there. I usually cooked them together and thus got quantity well flavored. =C. auranti´acus= Fr.—orange-yellow. (Plate CXXXVI, fig. 4, p. 508.) =Pileus= fleshy, obconic, nearly plane above, smooth or minutely tomentose, dull orange with the disk usually brownish, the margin decurved and sometimes yellowish. =Gills= narrow, close, repeatedly forked, orange, sometimes yellowish. =Stem= inequal, generally tapering upward, colored like the pileus. =Flesh= yellowish, taste mild. =Height= 2–3 in., breadth of =Pileus= 1–3 in. =Stem= 2–4 lines thick. Ground and very rotten logs in woods or in fields. Common. _Peck_, 23d Rep. N.Y. State Bot. =Spores= 6.4–7.6×4–5µ Peck, 10×5µ _Massee_. Var. _pallidus_ Pk. =Pileus= and gills pale yellow or whitish yellow. Stevenson says of the English species, “Unpleasant, reckoned poisonous.” The writer’s acquaintance with C. aurantiacus has been principally confined to West Virginia. There its taste is mild, scent but little, flavor not distinguishable from eastern C. Cibarius. There it is perfectly safe and wholesome; neither have the writer and his friends any reason for condemning it. =C. umbona´tus= Fr.—having an umbo. =Pileus= 1 in. and more broad, _ashy-blackish_, slightly fleshy, convex when young, _umbonate, at length depressed_, even, dry, _flocculoso_-silky on the surface, shining brightly especially under a lens. =Flesh= soft, white, often becoming red when wounded. =Stem= 3 in. long, about 4 lines thick, _stuffed_, equal, elastic, villous at the base, _ash-colored_, but paler than the pileus. =Gills= decurrent, thin, tense and straight, _crowded_, repeatedly divided by pairs, _shining-white_. Odor and taste scarcely notable. Gregarious. Among the taller mosses the stem is longer. Often overlooked from its habit being that of an agaric. It varies with the pileus squamulose and blackish. In woods. April to August. _Fries._ The rather prominent gills of this small species are likely to confuse those not familiar with its variance from the genuine type. Reddish tinge to flesh not noticed in the American species. The writer has gathered it in several states and enjoyed it for many years. (Plate XLVIII.) [Illustration: CANTHARELLUS ROSELLUS. Natural size. ] =C. rosel´lus= Pk.—rosy. =Pileus= thin, funnel-shaped, regular, glabrous, pale pinkish-red. =Flesh= white. =Gills= narrow, close, dichotomous, deeply decurrent, whitish, tinged with pink. =Stem= equal, slender, solid, subglabrous, often flexuous, colored like the pileus. =Spores= minute, broadly elliptical, 3.5×2.5µ. =Pileus= 4–8 lines broad. =Stem= about 1 in. long, scarcely 1 line thick.
