140 C. H. Kaufman 



as here recognized, has spores 10-12 (13) x 6-8 (9) ijl, with occa- 

 sional spores up to 16 Ai long. No sign of a veil could be ob- 

 served. The pileus is '' Vandyke brown" when fresh and moist, 

 but both it and the stem are markedly fuscescent, so that the 

 plants become quite dark or blackish in age. The gills are 

 distant, broadly adnate and rather broad. 



CoRTiNARius PURPURASCENS Fr. (Bulbopodium). Infre- 

 quent, but typical. Leal. Under conifers. 



CoRTiNARius RiGENs Fr. (Hydrocybe). Infrequent, Tol- 

 land. Under fir. 



This has the habit of C. scandens, but becomes much larger. 

 The spores measure 7-9 x 4-5 /x. 



CORTINARIUS RiGiDus Fr. (Telamouia). Frequent, Leal, 

 Tolland. On mosses under conifers. 



Its markedly broad gills, and the concentric white zones on 

 the fuscous-brown stem, distinguish it from its relatives. The 

 pileus is conic-campanulate, but umbo is subobtuse. 



CORTINARIUS SCANDENS Fr. (Hydrocybc). Frequent, Leal, 

 Tolland. Under conifers. 



CORTINARIUS SPLENDIDUS Pk. (Myxacium). Rare, Leal. 

 In moss, under pine and spruce. 



CORTINARIUS suiLLus Fr. (Telamonia). Infrequent, Leal. 

 Under conifers. 



This fine large plant was met for the first time; the 

 " ochraceous-salmon " to "apricot-buff" colors of its pileus 

 make it fairly easily recognizable. The stem is stout, clavate- 

 bulbous and white, pileus and gills turn slowly blackish when 

 bruised. The spores measure 9-10 (11) x 5-6 (7) fx. The veil is 

 rather evanescent. 



CORTINARIUS URACEUS Fr. (Hydrocybe). Rare, Leal. 

 Under conifers. 



CoRTiNARius viBRATiLis Fr. (Myifacium). Infrequent, 

 Leal, Tolland. Mixed and conifer woods. 



CoRTiNARius viOLACEUS Fr. Infrequent, Leal. On moss 

 under fir. 



Crepidotus versutus Pk. Uncommon, Tolland. On de- 

 cayed wood.
