CLASSIFICATION OF AGARICS ,ll 



This species is probably more frequent than mj observation 

 far indicate. The pileua is Bomewhal viscid, with a thin separable 

 pellicle, and its color when dry is characteristic. P. autumnalit 

 Pk. ia Baid to differ in having a aon-viacid pileua and a alight an 

 nuliis; the colors are very similar. Borne consider /'. autumnalit 

 identical with P. marginata. /'. discolor Bometimec Forma scanty 

 rhizomorpha on logs.

PILEUS l'-4 cm. broad, convex then almost plane, obtuse, rarely 

 umbonate, hygrophanous, watery-cinnamon (moist), becoming deep 

 ochraceous (dry), glabrous, even, margin extending beyond tin 

 gills. FLESH thin, concolor. GILLS adnate ami broad behind, 

 subtriangular behind . often decurrent, close, broad, ochre-cinnamon. 

 STEM 2-4 cm. long, 2-3 mm. thick, stuffed, equal, ftbrillose, con 

 color, darker toward base, which is often white mycelio id. AN 

 2sULUS thin, narrow, entire, persistent, membranous, apical. 

 SPOKES 8-10 x 1-5 micr., elliptical, smooth. CYSTIDIA ft w, broad 

 ly ventricose, narrowed above and obtuae, about 15 micr. long. 



Subcaespitose. <>n decaying logs, '-t< - .. in woods. Spring and 

 autumn. Ann Arbor. Probably rather Frequent in places. 



Differs from P. marginata by its broader gills, and persistent 

 annulus, but it is likely that intermediate forms will be found. 

 Harper's description of P. marginata applies to 'his plant.
