Cooking (Mushrooms); Edible mushrooms -- North America; Fungi -- North America; Mushrooms; Mushrooms, Poisonous -- North America

Quite common in West Virginia mountains and in pine woods of New Jersey.
The Boston Mycological Club reports it found in quantity in
Massachusetts. The flesh when cooked is gummy, like the marshmallow
confection. It is excellent.

               ** _Gills becoming reddish or gray, etc._


=T. vacci´num= Pers.—_vacca_, a cow. =Pileus= fleshy, convex or
campanulate, becoming nearly plane, umbonate, dry, floccose-scaly,
reddish-brown, the margin _involute, tomentose_. =Flesh= white. =Gills=
adnexed, subdistant, whitish, then reddish or reddish-spotted. =Stem=
equal, _hollow_, covered with a fibrillose bark, naked at the apex, pale
reddish.

=Spores= subglobose, 6µ.

=Pileus= 1–3 in. broad. =Stem= 2–3 in. long, 4–6 lines thick.

Under or near coniferous trees. Greene and Essex counties. September and
October. _Peck_, 44th Rep. N.Y. State Bot.

Recorded as edible by Gillet.

Plentiful in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia. Have eaten it
since 1885. Fair.


=T. fuligi´neum= Pk.—_fuligineus_, resembling soot. =Pileus= convex or
nearly plane, obtuse, often irregular, dry, minutely scaly,
_sooty-brown_. =Flesh= grayish, odor and taste farinaceous. =Gills=
subdistant, uneven on the edge, ash-colored _becoming blackish in
drying_. =Stem= short, _solid_, equal, bare, ash-colored. =Spores=
oblong-elliptical, 8×4µ.

=Pileus= 1–2.5 in. broad. =Stem= 1–1.5 in. long, 3–5 lines thick.

Among mosses in open places. Greene county. September. Rare. _Peck_,
44th Rep. N.Y. State Bot.

Quite common in Pennsylvania and New Jersey on mossy wood margins. It is
of fair quality and flavor.

=T. ter´reum= Schaeff.—the earth. (Plate XVIII, fig. 4, p. 60.) =Pileus=
fleshy, thin, soft, convex, campanulate or nearly plane, obtuse or
umbonate, _innately fibrillose or floccose-scaly_, ashy-brown,
grayish-brown or mouse color. =Flesh= white or whitish. =Gills= adnexed,
subdistant, more or less eroded on the edge, _white becoming
ash-colored_. =Stem= equal, varying from solid to stuffed or hollow,
fibrillose, white or whitish. =Spores= broadly elliptical, 6–7×4–5µ.

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

Woods. Albany, Rensselaer and Cattaraugus counties. September to
November. _Peck_, 44th Rep. N.Y. State Bot.

=Spores= 7×5.5µ _Morgan_; 5–6µ, _Massee_; 6–7×4µ _K._; 6µ _W.G.S._

Eaten by Professor Peck. Eaten by McIlvaine. Quality fair.


=T. ter´reum= Schaeff.—var. _fra´grans_ Pk. =Pileus= convex or nearly
plane, dry, innately-fibrillose or minutely floccose-scaly,
grayish-brown or blackish-brown. =Gills= rather broad, adnexed, whitish
or ash-colored. =Stem= equal, solid or stuffed, rarely hollow, whitish.
=Spores= broadly elliptical, 6–7×4–5µ.
