slightly swollen base to 6 mm at the insertion into the pileus, 
long, solid, fibrous throughout, white to light brown, smooth 
except above the annulus where it is slightly flocculent. Annu- 
lus well up on the stipe, membranaceous, persistant. Lamellae 
white but appearing very dark at the maturity of the fungus 
because of the color of the ripe spores, 6 mm broad, both ends 
obtuse, margin minutely notched and showing the white color 
of the gills even at maturity. Basidia club-shaped, 5.5 by 19 ux. 
Spores dark brown, small, elliptic, 2.5 to 3 by 5 to 5.5 », often 
uniguttulate.

Luzon, Manila, Copeland 1353, June 25, 1904, growing on lawn. 
A comparison of the date of collection with the date of publication of 
the species leads one to think that this collection may be Copeland’s type 
material. There is nothing on his label, however, to indicate this. The 
material agrees very nicely with his description and there can be no doubt 
but that the species is a good one. 
The species has only been collected in the Philippines.
