Lepiota arida (Fr.) Gill, is Amanita arida of the Icones of 

 Fries. Rea includes it among the Lepiotas, but it is surely a 

 better Amanita. 



Lepiota atrocrocea W. G. Smith. — No microscopic char- 

 acters are reported for this species. 



Lepiota concentrica Murrill. — Referred to L. fuscosqua- 

 mea Pk. as a synonym by Murrill himself. 



Lepiota cultorum B. & C.  — This species was named in 

 1853 from South Carolina, but has remained unknown to my- 

 cologists since that time. 



Lepiota daucipes (B. & M.) Morg. is more likely an Ama- 

 nita. 



Lepiota delicata Fr. was referred to the genus Armillaria 

 by Boudier. Rea reports it as having globose spores, 5-6 jj, in 

 diameter. Schweinitz and Morgan reported the species from the 

 United States. 



Lepiota drymonia Morg. — No specimens are in existence 

 and its spore characters are unknown. 



Lepiota echinata (Roth.) Quel. — This little species, with 

 red-tinted spores, I have kept in the genus Psalliota. (See 

 Agaricaceae of Michigan, I. 245.) 



Lepiota fragillissima (B. & Rav.) Morg. — It was origi- 

 nally described in the genus Hiatula. The spore characters are 

 unknown. 



Lepiota fulvastra (B. & C.) Sacc. — This species is too 

 poorly known to be retained. 



Lepiota haematosperma (Bull.) Boud. is another name for 

 Psalliota echinata Fr. 



Lepiota janthina Cke. — Ricken considers this to be the 

 same as L. castanea Quel. 



Lepiota magnispora Murrill. — This was described by Mur- 

 rill from the Northwest, in 1912; later he published it as a 

 synonym of L. clypeolaria. Its spores were given as 15-18 

 X 4-5 fJL in size, oblong-fusiform in shape 



Lepiota mammaeformis Underw. — The type collection of 

 this came from Alabama. It is made a synonym of L. cepaes-
