292 Rev. M.J. Berkeley and Rev. M. A. Curtis on new 



minute clavate hairs ; spores subelliptic, pale ochre, TniTnT'irsiro 

 inch long. 



Looks at first like a minute Schizophyllum. 



82. A. (Crepidotus) putrigena, B. & C. Imbricatus; pileo 

 subreniformi, albido tomentoso; margine striato; lamellis ex 

 albido ferrugineis. Curt. no. 2566. On damp rotten logs, Dec, 

 San tee Canal, South Carolina, H. W. Ravenel. 



Densely imbricated ; pileus ^-j inch or more across, subreni- 

 form, dirty white, tomentose, clothed with thicker white down 

 at the point of attachment ; margin slightly striate ; stem none ; 

 gills broad, at first dirty white, then ferruginous from the spores ; 

 spores nearly globose, i^^Vo ^^^^ i^ diameter. 



This is at once distinguished, without other marks, by the 

 subglobose spores resembling those of A, malachius and ne- 

 phrodes. 



If this is the same as an Agaric sent me by Mr. Ravenel, 

 which agrees in the spores, it attains much larger dimensions. 



83. Coprinus Spragueii, B. & C. Tenerrimus ; pileo e cam- 

 panulato conico tomentoso plicato ; stipite fistuloso pallide cin- 

 namomeo ; lamellis paucis angustis. Curt. no. 5303. In wet 

 springy ground. New England, C. J. Sprague. 



Pileus I inch across, at first campanulate, then conical, pale 

 brown, darker in the centre, downy, plicate, interstices pale ; 

 stem 2 inches high, 1 line thick, pale cinnamon, fistulose ; gills 

 few, narrow, tender, brown; spores subcymbiform, 2T00 i^ch 

 long. 



This is clearly different from C. plicatilis ; and the difi'erence 

 is confirmed by the spores being narrower and smaller. The 

 same species, apparently, occurs in Pennsylvania and Upper Ca- 

 rohna (4289 & 485). 



84. C. Wrightii, B. & C. Pileo ex ovali piano striato glauco 

 furfuraceo ; stipite fistuloso glabro ; lamellis liberis cinereis. 

 Curt. no. 5534. On little bits of grass, &c., in flower-pots, 

 Connecticut, C. Wright. 



Pileus 5-i inch broad, at first oval, then flat and expanded, 

 radiato- striate, of a glaucous grey, with small brown chafi'y 

 specks; stem 2 inches high, not i a line thick, whitish, smooth, 

 pellucid, fistulose, attached by a little down at the base ; gills 

 moderately distant, narrow, free, dark grey ; spores subcymbi- 

 form, y^Vu iiich long. 



A minute but distinct species. 



85. Hygrophorus ccerulescens, B. & C. Pileo piano subumbo- 

 nato viscido cseruleo-alutaceo ; stipite glabro pallide cseruleo; 

 lamellis distantibus crassis decurrentibus pileo obscurioribus. 

 Curt. no. 5434. In woods, amongst dead leaves and sticks, 

 which adhere to it, New England, C. J. Sprague.
