rj^HE root is hard, tough, and emits brown .fibres.
The item cylindrical, while "young folid, with age becomes
hollow, and is deftitute of curtain.
The gills are in three feries, narrow, brittle, of a pale brick,
colour, and when they, the ftem or pileus, are wounded, a yellow
acrid milk flows copiouily from the wound.
The pileus is at firft convex, afterwards becomes'horizontal,
