1’ broad. 
About the roots of trees in woods. Sept. 
This species is apparently related to C. niveus, and is 
remarkable for its nearly globose spores. All the specimens 
seen were old and partly dried, so that the description is 
not as full as could be desired. 
Cortinarius (Phlegmacium) Copakensis Pk. Pileus 
convex then expanded, often crowded and irregular, viscid, 
corrugated, pale-ochre, slightly tinged with red; lamells 
sub-distant, broad behind, at first violaceous, toothed or 
eroded on the margin, the interspaces sometimes veiny ; stem 
equal or tapering upwards, siuffed, silky, whitish; spores 
broadly elliptical, rough, .0003’—.00035’ long. Plant sub- 
cspitose, 2’—3’ high, pileus 1.5‘°—3’ broad, stem 2°—4 thick. 
Ground in woods. Oct. 
The pileus when dry is glabrous and shining. 
Cortinarius (Phlegmacium) lapidophilus Pk. Pileus 
at first hemispherical and einereous, then convex or expan- 
ded and tinged with ochre, often erowded and irregular, 
virgate with appressed fibrils; lamellee crowded, at first dark 
violaceous then argillaceous-einnamon; stem solid, equal or 
slightly thickened at the base, whitish; flesh of the pileus 
whitish; spores unequally elliptical, rough, .0003‘ long, .00025‘ 
broad. Plant subesspitose, 2'—4‘ high, pileus 2'—3’ broad, 
stem 3°—5” thick. 
Rocky soil in woods. Aug. 
Polyporus (Merisma) Beatiei Banning in litt. Pilei 
few, springing from a common, often tuber-like base, sprea- 
ding out into a suborbicular mass often a foot or. more in 
diameter, nearly plane above or centrally depressed and 
imperfectly funnel-shaped, variously confluent and imbricated, 
sometimes single, subzonate, rough with little radiating ele- 
vations or wrinkles, which sometimes form imperfeet reti- 
culations towards the base, subpulverulent and strigose-villose 
in zones or almost evenly scabrous-villose, alutaceous, the 
margin often irregular and lobed; pores of medium size, 
decurrent on the stem-like base, unequal, angular, lacerated, 
toothed and even lamellated, generally about equal in length 
to the thickness of the flesh of the pileus, subconcolorous; 
flesh pallid or pale alutaceous, of a finm, but cheesy texture; 
spores globose, rough, .00025’—.0003’ in diameter, colorless.
