It is autumnal, and favours rather open woods. The pileus is whitish or pale flesh colour, but soon discoloured, for it changes wherever bruised, and, being viscid, is generally ornamented by the adherence of dead leaves, twigs, and particles of soil. The under surface is very convex, yellowish, then red, blood-red, or crimson, punctured with myriads of pores. The stem is always thick and short, bright yellow or orange above, purplish-red below, and in the upper half reticulated with a 124 EDIB...LE AND POISONOUS MUSHROOMS. network of delicate veins. When cut or broken the very thick flesh at once changes to deep violet blue, and every part changes in like. manner when touched or bruised, so that its external beauty is soon marred.
