i LASSIFICATION OF AGARICS 



has placed sonic of the species of Clitopilus with i-< -< 1 < 1 i » 1 1 spores 



lie\l tO I'u.rillils h/iishr, ;in ;i na nej'inen I which hardly Solves the 



problem. Several species of Clitocybe and Tricholoma with a tint 

 of reddish in the spore print and with gills separable from ili«' pileus 

 arc equally close t" P. lepista as it is described, and an arras 

 incut of these s|M'cifs under :i single genus is desirable: such are 

 Tricholoma panoeolum var. cacspitosum and Tricholoma nudum. 

 Kaisicn, Barle and others have raised the tribe Tapinia t'> the rank 

 of a genus and include under it the Bpecies described below. No 

 uniformity of agreemenl lias so far resulted and I prefer to retain 

 the name- Paxillus in this report because "i' it> established use for 

 our plants and therefore its practical convenience.
