color than R. virescens, ranging from green or greenish to 

 ochraceous. Dr. Kauffman* suggests that Hard's figure (150) 

 is of this species rather than R. virescens as labeled and I am 

 inclined to agree. July to September. 



Russula subsordida, Peck. The whole plant becomes smoky- 

 brown when old and the flesh changes to that color when cut or 

 broken. Pileus glabrous, viscid when young, at first whitish, 

 lamellae close, adnate. It is separated from R. sordida, Peck, 

 by its viscid pileus; from R. nigricans, (Bull.) Fr., by the close 

 lamellae, and from R. densifolia. Seer , by the flesh not becom- 

 ing reddish when wounded. September. 



Russula ftavida, Frost. Pileus and stipe yellow, lamellae 

 white; pileus dry and mealy; lamellae close, adnate; stem solid. 

 I take this to be the plant described by Morgan as R. lutea, Fr. 

 The latter has a viscid pileus, a white stipe and the lamellae are 

 yellow or ochraceous. August and September. 



Rtissula mariae, Peck. Pileus dry, dark crimson or purplish, 

 minutely pulverulent or glaucous; lamellae close, adnate, whitish 

 to yellowish; stipe solid, a little paler than pileus or nearly white. 

 July. Determination confirmed byMiss Burlingham. 



Russula earlei, Peck. Pileus glutinous, straw-colored or 

 paler, margin even; lamellae thick, distant, adnate; stipe white. 

 Rather easily distinguished by the pale, glutinous pileus and the 

 distant gills August. 



Clitocybe eccentric a, Peck. Pileus umbilicate or somewhat 

 infundibuliform, hygrophanous, white or whitish, margin lobed, 

 split or irregular; lamellae white or yellowish, close, narrow, 

 decurrent; stipe often eccentric, becoming hollow. Growing 

 on much decayed log. August. Identified by C. H. Peck. 



Crcpidotus cinnabarinns, Peck. Pileus sessile, minutely 

 tomentose or pulverulent, cinnabar-red; lamellae rather broad, 

 reddish-flocculent on the edge; spores ferruginous. Readily 

 recognized from the color. On old stump in woods. Coll. 

 A. T. Cox. July. Bull. Torr. Bot. CI. 22: 4S9. 



Galera crispa, Longyear. Pileus conic-campanulate, margin 

 becoming crenulated and upturned; lamellae slightly adnexed, 

 close, rather narrow, much crisped; stipe fragile, somewhat bul- 

 bous. In grass on University campus. June to August. Bot. 

 Gaz. 28: 272. 



Agarictis abruptibulbus, Peck. The pileus is usually white or 

 yellowish but our specimens were tawny-yellow even when fresh. 

 The stipe has a flattened bulb by which the plant may be dis- 

 tinguished from its nearest allies. The double annulus is another 

 distinctive character. August. Coll. Master Hugh Fink. Iden- 

 tified by C. H. Peck. This plant was first named Agaricus 

 abruptus, Peck.
