. "PILEUS 6-12 cm. broad, fleshy, rather thin, convex becoming 

 nearly plane, dry, adorned with numerous, appressed, tawny scales, 

 concentrically cracked about the disk. FLESH white, becoming 

 brownish where cut. GILLS narrow, close, attenuated towards the 

 stem and attached to a narrow collar, whitish becoming pinkish-

 or hollow, adorned below with numerous, erect, subHoccose, tawny 

 scales, glabrous above and below the ample, persistent ANNULUS, 

 which is white above and tawny floccose-squamulose below. 

 SIM )BES elliptical, 7-8 x 1-5 micr. ODOR and TASTE of radishes." 



About the base of oak trees. M. A. C, East Lansing. Septem- 

 ber. B. O. Longyear. Neebish Island, October, E. T. Harper.

Solitary or gregarious. On logs of elm, etc. Ann Arbor. 

 June. Infrequent. 



Closely related to species of Flammula, because of its poorly de- 

 veloped annulus. The different color of the young gills and the
