=C. cinnamo´meus= Fr. =Pileus= 1–2½ in. across. =Flesh= thin,
convexo-campanulate, umbonate, somewhat cinnamon color, silky squamulose
with yellowish innate fibrils, becoming almost glabrous. =Gills= adnate,
broad, crowded, shining, yellowish, then tawny-yellow. =Stem= 2–4 in.
long, equal, yellow, as is also the flesh and the veil, hollow. =Spores=
7–8×4–5µ.
A very common species, especially in mossy places in pine woods,
occurring under many well defined forms, which can not be separated as
species. Essential points common to all. (1) Stem everywhere equal,
stuffed, then hollow, yellowish, fibrillose from the similarly colored
veil. (2) Pileus thin, flattened and obtusely umbonate, silky with
yellowish down, often glabrous when adult, and then bright cinnamon, but
the color is variable. (3) Flesh splitting, yellowish. (4) Gills adnate,
crowded, thin, broad, always shining. (5) Spores dark ochraceous, size
and color very variable; pileus from ½-3–4 in. across; color of pileus
changeable, depending on the more or less persistence of the down
(fundamental color and veil constant in this species and its allies);
gills varying through blood-red, reddish cinnamon, tawny saffron, golden
and yellow. _Fries._
=Pileus= thin, convex, obtuse or umbonate, dry, fibrillose at least when
young. =Flesh= yellowish. =Lamellæ= thin, close, adnate. =Stem= slender,
equal, stuffed or hollow. =Spores= elliptical, 8µ long. _Peck_, 48th
Rep. N.Y. State Bot.
=Spores= 7–8×4µ _Cooke_.
The Germans are said to be very fond of this species, which is generally
stewed in butter and served with sauce for vegetables.
Catalogued by Dr. M.A. Curtis, North Carolina, as edible. Edible.
_Cooke._
Var. _semi-sanguin´eus_ received from E.B. Sterling, Trenton, N.J.,
August, 1897. Juicy and good.
The species is common over the United States and plentiful in its
numerous varieties from August to frost. It frequents mixed woods,
borders and open and mossy places. The pine woods of New Jersey yield it
in quantity, as do the hemlock forests of Eagle’s Mere, Pa., and oak
woods of West Virginia.
It has a smell and taste—mildly of radishes. Its flavor when cooked is
decided but pleasant.
