86 AGARICINI. 



C. (Inoloma) alboviolaceus. 



Pileus, flesh}^ rather thin, convex, then expanded, some- 

 times broadly subumbonate, smooth, silky, whitish, tinged 

 with lilac or pale violet. 



Gills, generally serrulate, whitish-violet, then cinnamon 

 color. 



Stem, equal or a little tapering upward, solid, silky, white, 

 stained with violet, especially at the top, slightly bulbous, the 

 bulb gradually tapering into the stem. 



Height, three to four inches, breadth of pileus two to three 



inches, stem three to six lines thick. — Peck' s Reports. 



The whole plant is of a light violet hue. You will often meet with it 

 during the Cortinarii season. It springs up not only in dry and arid 

 localities, but also in wet and swampy places. 



C. (Inoloma) autumnalis. Pk. 



Pileus, fleshy, convex or expanded, dull rusty yellow, 

 varigated or streaked with innate ferruginous fibrils. 



Gills, rather broad, with a wide, shallow emargination. 



Stem, equal, solid, firm, bulbous, u little paler than the 

 pileus. 



Height three to four inches, breadth of pileus two to four 



inches, stem six lines thick. — Peck' s Reports. 



This is an American species, named by Prof. Peck autumnalis on 

 account of its occurring late in the season. I have found it nevertheless 

 early in September in a wet jungle. It is very deceiving on account of 

 the gills remaining pallid so long. 



C. (Inoloma) iodes. B. & C. 



Pileus, convex, dry, fleshy, bright violet, spotted with 

 alutaceus spots, which is a good character. 



Gills, adnate, violet from the first, becoming rusty. 



Stem, bulbous, violet, solid, streaked with fibres of the 

 veil. 



Common in open woods. It is one of the earliest of the family.
