Densely cespitose, 3–6 in. high. =Pileus= 2–4 in. broad. =Stem= 3–5
lines thick.

Dead trunks and old stumps of maple. Adirondack and Catskill mountains.
Autumn.

This is evidently closely related to A. squarrosus, with which it has,
perhaps, been confused, but its different colors and viscid pileus
appear to warrant its separation. _Peck_, 31st Rep. N.Y. State Bot.

Occurred in large clusters on sugar maples at Eagle’s Mere in October,
and on stumps at Mt. Gretna. It very closely resembles P. squarrosa. Its
caps are of the very best.


=P. subsquarro´sa= Fr.—_sub_, under; _squarrosus_, scurfy. (Plate LXXI,
fig. 4, p. 268.) =Pileus= 2 in. and more broad, _brown rust-color_, with
darker, _adpressed_, floccose _scales_, fleshy, convex, obtuse or
gibbous, viscid. =Stem= 3 in. long, 4–5 lines thick, stuffed (often
hollow when old), equal, yellow-rust-color, clothed with darker scales
which are adpressed, or spreading only at the apex, not rough, furnished
with an annular zone at the apex, becoming yellow-rust-color within.
=Gills= deeply sinuate, emarginate, _almost free_, arcuate, crowded, at
first pale then dingy yellow.

=Spores= rust-color. The pileus is viscid, but not glutinous like that
of A. adiposus. It holds a doubtful place between A. aurivellus and A.
squarrosus, departing from both, however, in the gills being at the
first yellow; and from A. squarrosus, to which it is more like, in the
gills being emarginato-free, not decurrent. Somewhat cespitose. Almost
inodorous. _Fries._

=Spores= ferruginous, size not stated.

West Philadelphia, Mt. Gretna, Pa., Haddonfield, N.J. September until
after frosts. _McIlvaine._

Not previously reported.

The maple trees in West Philadelphia frequently show large clusters of
it up to twenty feet from ground; to be seen from afar after the leaves
have fallen. Our American species differs somewhat from the European.
American species:

=Pileus= 1–3 in. across, fleshy, convex, _very viscid_, rich
brownish-yellow, covered with darker adpressed floccose scales. =Flesh=
slightly yellow. =Gills= white when very young slightly emarginate,
adnexed, crowded, ¼ in. broad, brown. =Stem= 2–3 in. long, ½ in. thick,
equal or tapering toward base, stuffed, then hollow, covered with
squamose scales as far up as the slight ring, smooth above ring. =Ring=
membranaceous, slight.

=Spores= rust-color.

The species is variable and differs greatly in youth and maturity.

The caps, fried in hot buttered pan, are unexcelled.

Equally fine in croquettes and patties.

                  ** _Gills yellow, then rust-color._
