fading of the intense violet color of the stems, are frequently- 

 very confusing. 



CoRTiNARius GENTiLis Fr, (Tekmonia) . Frequent, Leal, 

 Tolland. In deep mosses, under conifers, etc. 



Sharply marked by its broad and distant gills, which often 

 become very distant as the plant matures and the drying cap 

 pulls up on the margin. Except for its longer stems and habitat, 

 it has somewhat the appearance of C. distans Pk. But in the 

 latter the stem is cingulate by the faded whitish remnants of a 

 brownish veil, while in C. gentilis the zone in the middle is 

 "yellow-ochre" and due to a yellow veil. The spores of C. 

 gentilis are also slightly larger than in C. distans, and measure 

 8-9 (10) X 5.5-6 (7) fx. 



CoRTiNARius GLANDicoLOR Fr. (Telamonia). Rather fre- 

 quent. Leal. Tolland. In debris under conifers, especially fir. 



This is most easily confused with C. punctatus Fr. and 

 stout forms of C. uraceus Fr. It has about the stature and shape 

 of C. distans Pk., but that species never has a fuscescent tend- 

 ency, while in C. glandicolor the whole plant when it reaches 

 maturity becomes fuscous and in age even blackish. I have 

 found the latter in this country only in the mountain forests, 

 in the Adirondacks, the Rockies, and the Olympics. Its spores 

 are very slightly longer than in C. distans, but smaller than in 

 C. punctata. Its gills vary from close to subdistant, in some 

 forms distant in age. The stem is at first whitish, but in age 

 only the annular zones of the veil remain whitish. In Agari- 

 caceae of Michigan, p. 422, it is compared with its relatives, 

 but at that time I had not become definitely acquainted with it. 

 The pileus is campanulate, its umbo quite variable from small 

 and pointed to broadly mammillate and obtuse, and small 

 plants often have the shape of C. rigidus, but differently colored. 



Cortinarius glaucopoides sp. nov. (Bulbopodium). 



Pileus 5-10 cm. broad, fleshy, convex, obtuse, then expanded- 

 plane, often irregular from crowding, with a viscid, separable 

 pellicle, glabrous, even, "antimony-yellow" (Ridg.) to "pale 

 orange-yellow," unicolorous, deeper lutescent with age, not 

 streaked, the thin margin at first incurved; flesh thick, abruptly
