This may be partly owing to
the fact that Professor Peck's pamphlet on "Boleti" is clearly
expressed, and the descriptions so vivid and plain that one has less
trouble in naming them than any other class of fungi.
+HYGROPHORUS MINEATUS = vermilion.+
+The Vermilion Hygophorus.+
+Cap+ 1 inch broad, at first vermilion color and then paler, broad,
flattened and then even, depressed in centre by the margin becoming
elevated. It is thin and fragile at first, even, smooth, and then scaly.
+Stem+ from 1 to 2 inches long, slender, 1 line thick, a little paler
than the cap, equal, round, somewhat stuffed, smooth, shining. +Gills+
attached, seldom decurrent, distant, distinct, yellow color, shaded with
red. This species is very fragile. It grows in woods or in open country,
on mosses or on dead leaves. It may be caespitose, or grows singly from
July to October.
+HYGROPHORUS COCCINEUS = scarlet color.+
+The Scarlet Hygrophorus.+
+Cap+, first bright scarlet and then changing to a paler hue.
