C. monodelphus. Morgan. One Brotherhood Clitocybe. 



Morgan, of Ohio, gives the following description of the One 

 Brotherhood Clitocybe in ' ' Mycological Flora of the Miami 

 Valley, O." : 



" Densely caespitose. Pileus fleshy, convex, then depressed, 

 at first glabrous, then scaly, honey color, varying to pallid- 

 brownish or reddish. Stipe elongated, solid, crooked, twisted, 

 fibrous, tapering at the base, pallid-brownish or flesh color. 

 Gills short, decurrent, not crowded, pallid flesh color. Spores 

 white, a little irregular .0076 X -0055 mm." 



It may be easily mistaken for a ringless Armillaria mellea. 



The One Brotherhood CHtocybe grows in clusters, from fifteen to twenty 

 individuals springing up from a common point. The pilei are honey 

 colored, with a few darker scales or disk, first described by A. P. 

 Morgan, Ohio. Externally it has the appearance of an Ag. melleus. 

 Appears about the same time as the melleu.s. 



Grows in different localities in our county. 



Specimens found in Albright's jungle, south of Trexlertown. 



C. odora. Bull. Sweet-smelling Clitocybe. 



This is easily recognized by its dull olive-green color of the 

 pileus, and the sweet aniseed odor ; convex at first, but soon 

 becomes depressed in the center, making it saucer-shaped. 



Gills, adnate, decurrent ; a little paler than the pileus. 



Stem, short, barely i}4, inches long, thickened at the base. 



The sweet-scented Clitocybe is the only species of the genus of dull 

 green color, gills are whitish, has the odor of aniseed. Supposed to be 

 esculent. Not very abundant. Habitat, open woods, Haus's Hill.
