50 Rhodora [MARCH 
specimen. Clitocybe subnigricans Pk. grew near the preceding plant. 
It is a plant that always suggests one of the Tricholomata as I look 
down upon it, but as Dr. Peck says in N. Y. State Mus. Bull. 150, 
p. 2, “A fine species easily distinguished by its strong odor and the 
blackening of the lamellae and stem where bruised and in drying." 
Many of the common species of Clavaria are met with each season 
but I will mention only a few that are not common. Clavaria similis 
Pk. and C. kromholzii Fr. were found in August, 1911, in a swamp. 
In the fall of 1912, I found a plant conspicuous for its size and color 
which Dr. Peck determined as C. obtusissima Pk., N. Y. State Mus. 
Bull. No. 167, p. 39. C. pallescens Pk. I continue to find and this 
past season's collection developed a strong smell of sulphuric ether 
upon drying. 
Many of the common species of the T'richolomata were abundant in 
October last. I refer in particular to T. terreum Schaeff., T. equestre L. 
and T. portentosum Fr. Of less common species I found in 1911, T. 
fumadellum Pk., T. albobrunneum Pers., T. flavobrunneum Fr. and T. 
terraeolens majus Pk. in thick pine woods on high land. This last 
plant I have reason to think is of wide range. It is a variety of T. 
terraeolens Pk., and is noted in N. Y. State Bull. 157, p. 52. It is a 
handsome plant. 
Stow seems to me highly favored with genera and species of the 
Hyporhodii and Dermini. I find and collect more plants of these 
two series than of all the remaining series. In September, 1911, I 
found many specimens of Entoloma flavifolium Pk. They were much 
larger than Dr. Peck’s illustration in N. Y. State Mus. Bull. 105, pl. S., 
deeper in color and the stem distorted in shape. September 13, 1911, 
I found fine plants of what Dr. Peck determined as Entoloma fumoso- 
nigrum Pk. The pileus has the color of Lactarius-lignyotus Fr. It 
appeared in the same locus August 21, 1912, three weeks earlier than 
in 1911, but it did not appear in 1913; see N. Y. State Mus. Bull. 167, 
: p. 42. August 27, 1912, I found a very distinguished, tense looking 
Entoloma which Dr. Peck determined as E. mirabile Pk. It is colored 
like E. peckianum Burt., but is stouter and larger. It did not appear 
in 1913. The season of 1913 brought to my notice in considerable 
quantity a marked variety of E. salmoneum Pk. I found about forty 
plants with a light greenish stem more highly colored at the base than 
at the top and many of them with pilei having greenish shades more 
or less deep. In all other respects they were typical plants. Each
