WHITE SPORE PRINT yellow color make this plant almost impossible to confuse with any other (Figure 15 and Plate 40). It is found over a wide range in both coniferous and hardwood forests, and in texture and flavor it can be rated well above the average edible mushroom. It is a prime favorite in both Europe and America. GENUS Clitocybe The genus name, meaning sloping head, describes the funnelshaped cap of some species. It is distinguished by (i) white spores, (2) unforked gills that run down the stem a short distance, and (3) a somewhat tough or fibrous stem. No ring or cup is present. There are many species, some of them abundant but of unknown edibility, others known to be edible, and at least one known fairly certainly to be poisonous. Unwholesome or poisonous: CLITOCYBE ILLUDENS (Jack-o'-Lantern) Because of its luminescent glow at night this mushroom has been given its common name. The plants are striking in appearance (Figure 16 and Plate 3A), the cap, gills, and stem being a bright orangeyellow, later fading to yellow. Numerous tall fruit bodies arise in a clump, the stems curving gracefully upward and outward from a common point of origin on a stump or log, the whole making a gay splash of color against the gray wood. As stated above, the fruit bodies are luminescent, and on rainy nights clumps of them at the bases of stumps can be seen for some distance, a sight not likely to instill confidence into the hearts of those to whom the woods after dark are strange and fearsome! The caps are from 3 to 4 inches in diameter, slightly convex, curving downward from the center toward the margin, often with a little rounded or pointed bump in the center. The bright yellow gills taper downward on the stem for 1/4 inch or more. The stem is from 1/3 to 1/2 inch in diameter, 5 to 8 inches long, yellow or 4 1
