Cantharellus floccosus (Edible) (See Plate Facing Page 136) Cap or Fileus—Funnel form or trumpet shaped, depressed even into the stem. The surface of the depression is woolly or scaly. The scales some- times persist and sometimes dis- appear. Reddish yellow, fading to yellow. Gills or Lamellcz—Blunt, narrow, close; forked branched so as to appear as a network. Yellow to yellow brown. Stem or Stipe—Short, smooth, or hairy. Sometimes extending like a root among fallen leaves. Spores—^\(\\&. i%j>4—White, thin. Time—July to September. Habitat—In groups in woods. The specimen pictured was found grow- ing in moss by a stream among laurels and rhododendrons. Section of c. floccosus GENUS AMANirOPSIS The genus Amanitopsis has white spores, the gills free from the stem, and at the base of the stem a volva, the remains of the wrapper which enclosed the young plant. There is no annulus or ring on the stem, a feature which separates the genus Amani- topsis from the genus Amanita. Can-thS-rel'-liis F16c-c6'-siis A-mSn'-l-tfip'-sfe S3.
