kAUCORIA. 69 



Gills, adnate, broad, golden yellow. 



Stem, stuffed, silicate, yellow, without a ring. 



Pine boards. Lumber yards. 



F. anomala. Pk. 



PiletlS, umbilicate, irregular, smooth, whitish. 

 Gills, decurrent, pale, ferruginous. 

 Stem, short, irregular, whitish. 

 Spores, brown, ferruginous. 

 Koch Island. First discovered, September, 1894. 



F. rhodoxanthus. 



Pileus, fleshy, obconic, slightly tomentose when young, 

 areolated when older, brown, with a yellow tinge, flesh yellow. 



Gills, deeply decurrent, not very close, bright yellow. 



Stem, even, solid, sometimes curved, slightly punctated. 



This species is Berkley's Paxillus flavidus, named from a 

 dried specimen, which did not have the characters of a Pax- 

 illus, that is, the easily separating gills from the hymenophore, 

 and the anastomosing of gills near the stem. Schweinitz 

 named it Gomphidius rhodoxanthus, but it is no good Gom- 

 phidius, for it has not the typical gluten covering the plant. 

 Flammula is the best pigeonhole for it; hope it will stay there. 

 C. G. Lloyd first put me in mind to change it to the genus 

 Flammula. 



Genus XX. NAUCORIA. Naucum, a nut. 



Species of this family are small with a cartilaginous stipe. 

 Gills adnate, sometimes nearly free. Growing on wood on 

 ground. Spores different shades of brown, veil absent, or 

 attached to the edge of the pileus, stem cartilaginous, confluent 

 with but heterogeneous from the hymenophore.
