610 Peck : New Species of Fungi 



brown tips. Possibly it may prove to be a variety of A. strobili- 

 f or mis. but it appears to be distinct. 



Amanitopsis parcivolvata 



Pileus rather thin, hemispherical or convex, becoming nearly 

 plane, glabrous or sometimes adorned with a few small easily 

 separable fragments of the volva, viscid when moist, plicate striate 

 on the margin, orange or yellow, sometimes orange in the center 

 and yellow or whitish on the margin, flesh white tinged with 

 orange, reddish under the cuticle ; lamellae free, rounded at the 

 outer extremity, floccose on the edge, pale yellow ; stem long, 

 equal or slightly tapering upward, slightly furfuraceous or mealy, 

 stuffed or hollow, pale yellow, rarely fading to white, the volva 

 thin, easily rupturing and forming scales or disappearing, white ; 

 spores broadly elliptic, 10-12 fx long, 6-8 ft broad. 



Pileus 5-10 cm. broad ; stem 8-12 cm. long, 8-12 mm. thick. 



Grassy ground in thin woods. New Jersey. July. Miss N. 

 L. Marshall. North Carolina. July. Miss M. L. Wilson. 



A beautiful mushroom. Sometimes the whole pileus is bril- 

 liant orange. In the North Carolina specimens the center of the 

 pileus is orange or crimson and the margin yellow or whitish. 

 The volva is so slight and so easily destroyed that it is difficult to 

 secure specimens that retain it. 



Lepiota felinoides 



Pileus thin, convex, subumbonate, brown, purplish brown or 

 blackish brown, often darker in the center, becoming squamose by 

 the rupturing of the cuticle, flesh white ; lamellae thin, close, free, 

 white ; stem slender, slightly thickened at the base, hollow, silky 

 fibrillose, white, the annulus membranaceous, persistent, white ; 

 spores elliptic, 6-7.5, ji long, 4-5 ji broad. 



Pileus 2.5-6 cm. broad; stem 5-8 cm. long, 2-4 mm. thick. 



Low shaded ground under poison ivy in woods. Near 5t 

 Louis, Missouri. August. N. M. Glatfelter. 



The species is related to L. felina, from which it is separated 

 by its slender silky white stem and its well-developed persistent 

 white annulus. 



Armillaria macrospora 



Pileus fleshy, fragile, convex, glabrous, viscid when m ° ist ' 

 shining when dry, white, sometimes brown in the center, flesh 

 white; lamellae rather narrow, close, decurrent, white; stem short,
