PHOLIOTA ANOMALA. Pileus at first hemispherical or subconi- 
cal, then convex, glabrous, hygrophanous, broccoli-brown when 
moist, pale-yellow or cream-color when dry; lamellae adnate or 
slightly decurrent, subarcuate, pale becoming brownish-ferruginous, 
often white on the edge; stem cavernous or hollow with irregular 
transverse partitions, sometimes containing a cottony tomentum, 
whitish, with a slight evanescent annulus; spores elliptical, .0003 
to .0004 in. long, .00016 to .0002 broad. 
Pileus 8 to 18 lines broad; stem 1.5 to 2.5 in. long, 1 to 3 lines 
thick.

The species belongs to the tribe Truncigenae, section Hygro- 
phanae. It is well marked by its fugacious annulus, subdecurrent 
lamellae and peculiar cavernous stem. 
HEBELOMA FOEDATUM. Pileus fleshy, convex becoming plane 
or centrally depressed, glabrous, very viscid or glutinous, reddish 
_ cinnamon, flesh yellowish-white; lamellae subventricose, emar- 
ginate with a decurrent tooth, cinnamon-color, becoming mummy- 
brown; stem solid, equal or slightly thickened at the base, fibril- 
lose, paler than the pileus; spores broadly elliptical, .00024 to 
.0003 in. long, .00016 to .0002 broad. 
Pileus 1.5 to 3 in. broad; stem 1.5 to 2.5 in. long, 2 to 4 lines 
thick.

The species is apparently related to H. firmum, H. testaceum 
and 7. glutinosum, from all of which it is separated by its small 
spores. Its viscid pileus causes dirt to adhere to it in such quan- 
tity as to give the plant a very defiled, unattractive appearance. 
FLAMMULA ANOMALA. Pileus deeply umbilicate or infundibuli- 
form, often irregular, glabrous, whitish; lamellae narrow, close, 
decurrent, pale-ferruginous ; stem short, irregular, whitish ; spores 
globose, brownish-ferruginous, .00024 in. broad. 
Pileus about I in. broad; stem 6 to 12 lines long. 
Plant commonly caespitose. Ground. Trexlertown, Pennsyl- 
vania. October. Dr. William Herbst. 
A whitish umbilicate pileus is unusual among species of Flam- 
mula. This plant appears to belong to the tribe Gymnotae. 
TUBARIA PALLESCENS. Pileus fleshy but thin, convex or nearly 
plane, sometimes slightly depressed in the center, glabrous, hy- 
grophanous, brick-red when moist, yellowish or cream color when
