In sandy fir woods. Cbudleigh. [Low. & Mid. Carolina.]
This species grows gregariously in sandy fir woods ; when young it is almost
transparent, and resembles young Cynophallus caninus, being of a pure
white, and furnished with white roots, which proceed from a mycelium that
spreads sometimes an inch or two j in this state it turns pink on being
touched ; in a more advanced stage it is yellow, but even then it has here
and there a pink tinge. The smell is very much like that of Melanogaster
amUguuswhQ-n old, but when young it has an acid smell like that of sour
ham. I t rapidly decays into a brown, foetid, pulpy mass.—il/./ . -B. Spores

an absorbing base. Cavities

irregular. Trama composed
of elongated colls, but not
of byssoid flocci, and therefore
not easily separable.
