56 AGARICINI. 



P. eximius. Smith. 



Pileus, fleshy, campanulate when young, expanded, beau- 

 tiful fringed on the margin, larger than the cervinus. 



Gills, broad, ventricose, free, white at first, then rose-color, 

 flesh white, firm. 



Stem, thick, solid, fribrillose. 

 On sawdust and icehouses. 



P. nanus. Fr. The Dwarf Pluteus. 



Pileus, one inch, umber, darker at the disk. 

 Gills, free, flesh color. 

 Stem, solid, attenuated at the base. 

 On old logs. Jungle. 



Genus XII. BNTOI^OMA. Fr. 



Entos, within ; loma^ fringe. 



Probably referring to the inner character of the veil of which 

 there is only a trace. Pink spored. No distinct veil. Pileus 

 flesh}', margin incurved. Gills emarginate, same as in Trich- 

 oloma in the white-spored series. Spores, so far as examined, 

 angular. Entoloma is analogous with Tricholoma. All grow 

 on the ground. 



B. clypeatus. Linn. 

 Or nearer Entoloma strictior, Pk. From sh ictus, erect. 

 This is rather a perplexing species since the characters come 



so near clypeatus as to be hardly necessary to make a new 

 species. 



It is a beautiful plant, rosy-spored gills. The whole plant 

 is beautifully regular and symmetrical. The principal diagnosis 

 is the extensive white mycelium on base of the stipe. It is a 

 genuine Entoloma. 



Found in woods near Ziegel's Church.
