                           _A._ SPORES EVEN.

=C. pru´nulus= Scop.—_prunus_, plum. (Plate LXIII, fig. 4, 5, p. 254.)
=Pileus= fleshy, _compact_, at first convex and regular, then repand,
_dry_, _pruinate_, white or ashy-white. =Flesh= white, unchangeable,
with a pleasant farinaceous odor. =Gills= deeply decurrent, subdistant,
flesh-colored. =Stem= solid, naked, striate, white. =Spores=
subelliptical, pointed at each end, 10–11×5–6µ.

=Pileus= 1.5–3 in. broad. =Stem= 1–2 in. long, 3–4 lines thick.

Woods.

Not abundant, but edible, and said to be delicious and one of the best
of the esculent species. _Peck_, 42d Rep. N.Y. State Bot.

June to October. Most plentiful in August and September.

Very plentiful in oak woods at Angora, West Philadelphia, moderate crops
at Mt. Gretna, Pa.

An abortive form (see Plate LXIII, fig. 2, 3, p. 254) occurs not
distinguishable from that of Armillaria mellea. It grows singly and in
tufts, very variable in shape, white, tinged with brown on ruptured
surfaces. This form equals its original.

C. prunulus has a strong smell of fresh meal. It is a delicious species.

Stew. It is one of the very best in patties, croquettes, etc.
