among grass or in ploughed fields, or on similar ground; and 

 those which grow in forests, thickets or other shady and moist 

 places. Many, if not most of them, fruit under much drier con- 

 ditions than other agarics. When collecting is good for many 

 genera, i.e., during continuous wet weather, the fruit-bodies of 

 Lepiota are apt to be rare or scattered; after the wet weather 

 ceases, and other forms no longer appear, then it is frequently 

 possible to find Lepiotas, often an unusual number of the smaller 

 species. 



In the following synopsis of species it has seemed best to 

 eliminate in the beginning those species reported from the tropics 

 or scarcely extending into our southern states, as well as those 

 which have apparently been introduced from the tropics and 

 appear sporadically in hothouses or conservatories. These two 

 sets of species will be merely listed, except for brief comments on 

 a few of them given elsewhere.
