tuliform-elevated epidermis, then suberumpent exposing the small 
(% mm.) black circular disk with a slightly raised paler margin; 
asci cylindrical, 250 X 12-14, abruptly contracted at base into a 
short stipe and surrounded by abundant filiform branching para- 
physes ; sporidia cylindrical, hyaline, fasciculate, nearly as long as 
the asci, readily separating into cylindrical 3-6-septate segments, 
10-20 (exceptionally 30) X 34 yw, more or less constricted at the 
septa. 
This has the general appearance of Didymosphaeria grumata

AMANITA CANDIDA. 
Pileus thin, broadly convex or nearly plane, verrucose with 
numerous small erect angular or pyramidal easily separable warts, 
often becoming smooth with age, white, even on the margin, flesh 
white; lamellae rather narrow, close, reaching to the stem, white; 
stem solid, bulbous, floccose-squamose, white, the annulus attached 
to the top of the stem, becoming pendent and often disappearing 
with’ age, floccose-squamose on the lower surface, striate on the 
upper, the bulb rather large, ovate, squamose, not margined, 
tapering above into the stem and rounded or merely abruptly 
pointed below; spores elliptical, .0004 to .0005 in. long, .0003 in. 
broad. Pileus 3 to6in. broad; stem 2.5 to 5 in. long, 5 to 8 lines 
thick, the bulb 1 to 1.5 in. thick in the dried specimens.

This is a fine large species related to A. solitaria, but differing 
from it in the character of its bulb and of its annulus. The bulb 
is not marginate nor imbricately squamose. Its scales are small 
and numerous. Nor is it clearly radicating, though sometimes it 
has a slight abrupt point or mycelioid-agglomerated mass of soil 
at its base. The veil or annulus i$ large and well developed, but 
it is apt to fall away and disappear with age. Its attachment at 
the very top of the stem brings it closely in contact with the 
lamellae of the young plant and the striations of its upper surface 
appear to be due to the pressure of the edges of these upon it. 
It separates readily from the margin of the pileus and is not —
