 western pari of the State. July-September. Frequent. 



This little species is usually placed under the suit:;. -mis \\\ 

 grocybe, bu1 the interwoveu hyphae of the gills bar it. It is dia 

 tinguished from //. mtidus, a very similar species, by the color of 

 the cap not fading as in that species; and from //. chlorophantts 

 by the broadly adnate or subdecurreul gills. It seems to prefer 

 the region of conifer woods, although it is no1 aecessarily found 

 only among conifers.
