sheen when reflecting the light. It belongs to the subgenus 

 Camarophyllus. 



Hygrophorus fimbriatophyllus, sp. nov. — Pileus 2-3 cm. 

 broad, at first oval-hemispherical then broadly convex, obtuse, 

 uniformly "apricot-yellow" (R.), fibrillose-floccose or broken 

 into soft and small scales, margin even, at first incurved and 

 silky from the cortina; flesh moist, concolor, 2 mm. thick near 

 stem, narrowed to the margin of the pileus. Gills broadly 

 adnate or at length spuriously subdecurrent, rather narrow, 

 2-4 mm., ''apricot-yellow," waxy, edge concolorous and fimbriate. 

 Stem 4-7 cm. long tapering upwards, 2-3.5 mm. thick at apex, 

 3-6 mm. at base, concolor, even, flexuous, at first silky-fibrillose, 

 glabrescent. Odor and taste none. Spores subglobose to broadly 

 efliptical, smooth, hyaline, 7-8(9) X 6-7 m; cystidia none; sterile 

 cells on the edge of the gills prominent, cylindrical, obtuse, 100- 

 120 X 4-5 //, hyaHne; gill-trama interwoven. 



On very rotten wood in conifer forest. Mt. Hood, Oregon. 

 October 13. Collected by L. E. Wehmeyer. 



The pileus although fleshy is thin and somewhat pliant, but 

 the waxy gills preclude the genus Clitocybe. The young plant is 

 surrounded by the continuation of the pileus covering, thus indi- 

 cating a universal veil. H. intermedium Pass.-Ricken has a sim- 

 ilar covering. Our plant belongs to the subgenus Camarophyllus. 



Hygrophorus multifolius, sp. nov. (See Plate VII.) — Pileus 

 1.5-4 cm. broad, pliant, at first broadly convex and discoid, at 

 length plane to depressed with a small umbo and a decurved 

 margin, viscous, with a thin, separable pellicle, soon dry and sub- 

 tomentose, putty-colored to ''drab" (R.), margin at first incurved 

 and persistently translucent-striatulate, incurved portion subto- 

 mentose; flesh rather thin, 1.5 mm. near stem, tapering gradu- 

 ally to margin, concolor, fading. Gills adnate-subdecurrent, at 

 length decurrent by elevation of cap-margin, narrow, 3-4 mm., 

 almost Hnear, close or subcrowded, "echru-drab" (R.) or paler, 

 waxy, edge entire. Stem 3-5 cm. long, 2-3.5 mm. thick, equal, 

 terete or compressed, hollow, slightly viscid when fresh from the 

 thin hyaline evanescent universal veil, sometimes white-silky or 

 lacerate-silky in upper portion, "light drab" within and without,
