_Tricholoma resplendens. Fr._

THE SHINING TRICHOLOMA. EDIBLE.

[Ill.u.s.tration: Figure 504.--Tricholoma resplendens. Entire plant white.]

Resplendens means shining brightly.

The pileus is fleshy, convex, then nearly plane, even, bare, viscid, white, sometimes hyaline-spotted or yellowish on the disk, shining when dry, margin straight. Flesh white, taste mild, odor pleasant.

The gills are nearly free when young, then emarginate, somewhat crowded, rather thick, entire, white.

The stem is solid, bare, subbulbose, even, white, dry. The spores are 84.

The caps are two to four inches broad; the stem is two to four inches long.--_Peck._

This is a beautiful plant, entirely white, smell and taste pleasant, and found in Poke Hollow and in the woods along Ralston's Run, near Chillicothe.

This plant is found very generally over the United States.
