About the base of trees. Westchester county. October.
This is a large and showy species. The stems are sometimes united at the base into a solid mass. The young gills are probably yellow, but I have seen only mature specimens. Peck, 50th Rep. N.Y. State Bot.

Individuals of all ages were found and eaten. The young gills are very light yellow, darkening to a deep, rich yellow.
The caps are of good substance and flavor. When very young the stems are edible.
