From its nearest allies it is distinguished by its brilliant golden yellow
or ferruginous tint, its neat form, its firm equal stem, which is at first
coloured like the cap, and then acquires a rufous tint, but especially by its
being marked with little dots, but not reticulate, above the fugacious ring,
which is at first whitish, and then acquires a yellow tinge, audits decurrent,
minute, simple, golden yellow pores, inclining to sulphur. The flesh, moreover,
is of a decided, though pale yellow.—iff. J. B.

^ Fries regards this as a variety of B. degam ; it requires to be carefully distinguished
from B. luteus. Pileus 2-5 in. broad, compact, in moist shady
places glutinous and bright-yellow, in exposed situations dry and brown;
flesh pale yellow, not changing; tubes unequal, of a golden sulphur, wavy,
sometimes with their orifices ruddy. Eing dirty-yellow, membranaceons.
Stem 2-3 iu. high, 6-9 lines thick, yellow spotted with purple, thickened at
