=Pileus= at first ovate or hemispherical, then broadly convex or nearly
plane, slightly viscid when young and moist, _rough with numerous_
_whitish or yellowish warts_, rarely smooth, narrowly and _slightly
striate on the margin_, white, yellow or orange-red. =Gills= white.
=Stem= equal or slightly tapering upward, stuffed with webby fibrils or
hollow, bearing a white ring above, _ovate-bulbous_ at the base, white
or yellowish; the volva usually breaking up into scales and adhering to
the upper part of the bulb and the base of the stem. =Spores=
_elliptical_, 8–10x6–8µ.
=Plant= 5–8 in. high. =Pileus= 3–6 in. broad. _Peck_, 33d Rep. N.Y.
State Bot.
A white variety, with the pileus thickly studded with sharp warts,
occurs in Albany Rural Cemetery. July. _Peck_, 24th Rep.
Var. _al´ba_ Pk. It also occurs on Long Island in two forms, the normal
one and a smaller one, in which the warts of the pileus are evanescent
or wanting. Not unfrequently it makes a close approach to white forms of
A. pantherina, in having the upper part of the bulb uniformly margined
by the remains of the definitely circumscissile volva, but this margin
is more acute than in that species. _Peck_, 46th Rep. N.Y. State Bot.
=Spores= spheroid-ellipsoid, 10–12x8–9µ _K._; 6x9µ, _W.G.S._;
elliptical, 8–10x6–8µ _Peck_.
“At Cincinnati, yellow A. muscaria are all we find.” _Lloyd._
Reported from most of the states. At Mt. Gretna I found it in great
quantity, and frequently three or four tightly crowded together. Many
pounds of it were sent to Professor Chittenden, Sheffield Laboratory,
Yale University. Near Haddonfield, N.J., large patches annually grow
under pines, gorgeous in their rich orange-red caps, usually scaly, with
at times lemon-yellow in the same clusters, smooth as A. Cæsarea. It
grows from July until after hard frosts.
