=C. tur´malis= Fr.—_turma_, a troop. (Plate LXXXII, fig. 4, p. 306.) =Pileus= yellow-tan, most frequently darker at the disk, not changeable, compact, convex then plane, very obtuse, even, smooth (sometimes obsoletely piloso-virgate), when young veiled with pruinate but very fugacious villous down, soon naked, viscid. =Flesh= white. =Stem= sometimes 3 in., sometimes 6 in. long, 1 in. thick, solid, very hard, rigid, _cylindrical_, here and there attenuated at the base, shining white when dry, _when young sheathed with a white woolly veil_, naked when full grown. Cortina entirely fibrillose, superior and persistent in the form of a ring, at length ferruginous with the spores. =Gills= variously adnexed, rounded or emarginate, even decurrent with a tooth, crowded, _serrated_, white then clay-color. _Fries._ I find it edible and of great value, being plentiful in pine woods, Maryland. I have collected a bushel in less than an hour in October. Under pine needles forming mounds. _Taylor._ The localities and the habit of C. turmalis are very like that of C. sebaceus. The leaf mat broods the clusters. C. turmalis is on a par with C. sebaceus. Personally I prefer the latter. ** _Gills purplish, then clay-colored._ =C. va´rius= (Schaeff.) Fr.—_varius_, changeable. =Pileus= 2 in. and more broad, bright _ferruginous-tawny_, compact, hemispherico-flattened, very obtuse, regular, slightly viscid, even, smooth, the thin margin at first incurved, appendiculate with the cortina. =Flesh= firm, white. =Stem= curt, 1½-2½ in. long, 1 in. and more thick, _bulbous_, absolutely immarginate, compact, _shining white_, adpressedly flocculose, the superior veil pendulous. =Gills= emarginate, thin, somewhat crowded, _at first_ narrow, _violaceous-purplish_, then broader and ochraceous-cinnamon, always quite entire. Variable in stature, but the habit and colors are always unchangeable. It varies with the stem taller and somewhat equal, the pileus yellow-tawny, and the gills dark blue. _Fries._ In woods. Uncommon. September to November. _Stevenson._ Minnesota; Ohio. Edible. _Cooke_, 1891. _B._ SCAU´RI. * _Gills whitish then cinnamon._ =C. intru´sus= Pk. =Pileus= fleshy, rather thin, convex, then expanded, glabrous, somewhat viscid when moist, even or radiately wrinkled on the margin, yellowish or buff, sometimes with a reddish tint. =Flesh= white. =Lamellæ= thin, close, rounded behind, at first whitish or creamy-white, then cinnamon, often uneven on the edge. =Stem= equal or slightly tapering either upward or downward, stuffed or hollow, sometimes beautifully striate at the top only or nearly to the base, minutely floccose when young, soon glabrous, white. =Spores= broadly elliptical, brownish-cinnamon, 6–8×4–5µ. =Pileus= 1–2.5 in. broad. =Stem= 1–3 in. long, 3–6 lines thick.
