Mushrooms and other common fungi . rownish tinge; fleshwhite or slightly yellow; gills sulphur yellow, crowded, rounded behind, and almostfree; stem stout, solid, pale yellow, or white. Cap 2 to 3 inches broad; stem 1 to 2 inches long, one-half to three-fourths inch thick.(PI. XIII, fig. 1; PI. XIV, fig. 3.) This species has a fairly wide geographical distribution and occurs very abundantlyin Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia from the middle of Novemberuntil about Christmas. It is to be found in pine woods, where it forms irregular orincomplete fairy rings. The plants exert considerable force in pushing their way outof the ground and through the dense mat of needles, which often adhere so closelyto the caps that slight elevations are the only indications of the presence of the mush-rooms. Tricholoma equestre is a very excellent edible species and is delicious when friedor made into soup. The latter resembles turkey soup, but possesses a more delicateflavor. Bui. 175, U. S.
