The stem is slender, nearly orange color with a violet-brown apex, the whole minutely pilose. The spores are elliptical, 4–5×2µ.
They are found on mossy banks where it is more or less damp. I have only found it in October.
Omphalia alboflava. Moy.
The Golden-Gilled Omphalia.
Figure 100.—Omphalia alboflava. Cap yellowish-brown, sometimes a greenish tinge. Gills golden yellow.
Alboflava is from two Greek words meaning whitish-yellow, from the yellow gills.
The pileus is one to two inches broad, thin, somewhat membranaceous, umbilicate, flaccid, covered with fine woolly material, yellow-brown, lighter when dry, margin reflexed.
The gills are distant, deep golden-yellow, occasionally forked.
