. Minnesota mushrooms ... Botany; Mushrooms. GILL FUNGI 57 Clitopilus caespitosus Cluster Top Cap medium, 5-10 cm. wide, white or whitish, shining, smooth, convex, then plane or slightly depressed ; stem 4-8 cm. by 4-8 mm., white, mealy above, solid, more or less densely clustered ; gills more or less decurrent, pinkish or browmish- pink, narrow and crowded; spores rosy, nearly globose, S-4/i. The name refers to the clustered habit. In woodland and grassland, late summer and autumn; Figure 33. Clitopilus abortivus (Abortive form) Clitopilus abortivus Dwarf Top Cap medium, 5-10 cm. wide, gray or grayish-brown, minutely silky-hairy, not sticky, becoming smooth when old, convex, rarely plane; stem 3-7 cm. by 5-10 mm., grayish to gray-brown, striate, solid; gills more or less decurrent, rosy, narrow and close; spores rosy, irregular, ellipsoid, 8-11 X 5-6/i. The name refers to the habit of producing deformed plants, which are usually more abundant than the normal ones, and are sometimes alone found. In this case, they are readily mistaken by the novice for puffballs, owing to their top-shaped or club-shaped form, and the absence of gills. Both forms are edible, but the abortive one is regarded as the better. On ground and decaying wood in forest and woodland, late summer and autumn. Clitopilus orcella Orcelle Cap medium, 6-12 cm. wide, white or whitish, more or less sticky when wet, convex to plane or slightly depressed; stem 2-6 cm. by 7-10 mm., white, minutely scaly or powderv, solid; gills long decurrent, rosy, crowded; spores brownish- pink, ellipsoid, 8-10 X S/t- The name refers to the form of the cap.
