trally depressed, somewhat striate on the margin when dry, some- 
times eccentric; lamellae of the young plant with a flesh-colored 
tint. 
The species is separated from C. diatreta by its darker and dif- 
ferently colored pileus and by its solid stem. 
HyYGROPHROUS CUSPIDATUS. 
Pileus thin, subcampanulate, glabrous, cuspidate, bright red; 
lamellae broad, ventricose, yellow ; stem slender, equal, glabrous, 
hollow; spores elliptical, .00045-—.0006 in. long, .00025—0003 broad. 
Pileus 6-10 lines broad; stem 1-2 in. long, about 1 line thick. 
Ottawa, Canada. September. J. Macoun. 
This fungus is closely allied to A. conicus, of which it might 
easily be taken to be a variety, but its more slender habit, its 
strongly cuspidate pileus and its longer and comparatively more 
narrow spores lead me to separate it. Asin that species the plants 
are apt to turn more or less black in drying.. 
COLLYBIA LUXURIANS 
Pileus thin, convex or subcampanulate, often irregular from its 
mode of growth, obtuse or umbonate, glabrous, moist, brown; 
lamellae narrow, close, whitish; stems caespitose, equal, flexuous, 
hollow, brown, thinly clothed above with a minute grayish pulver- 
ulent villosity which is often more dense and tomentose toward the 
base; spores elliptical, .00025-.0003 in. long, .o0016 broad. 
Pileus 2-4 in. broad; stem 3-4 in. long, 2-3 lines thick. 
Under brush heaps. Auburn, Alabama. July. Underwood. 
This is a large caespitose and luxuriant appearing species, but 
as the specimens were not accompanied by notes of the char- 
acters of the fresh plant it can only be imperfectly described, 
The pileus was said to be very moist when fresh and it was prob- 
ably hygrophanous. In the dried state it is a dull, reddish brown, 
closely approaching Mars’ brown. Its margin is more or less 
wavy, lobed and striate. The species is apparently related to C. 
confluens, but it is a much larger plant with a darker colored 
pileus. Its place is probably among the Confertipedes. 
OMPHALIA PUBESCENTIPES. 
Pileus thin, convex, umbilicate, glabrous, reddish-tawny, some- 
times paler on the margin; lamellae moderately close, decurrent, 
whitish; stem slender, pubescent, tawny with a tawny mycelioid 
tomentum at the base; spores elliptical, 00025 in. long, .00016 
broad. Pileus 2-4 lines broad; stem about 1 in. long, .5 line 
thick. ae ee o
