CLASSIFICATION' OF AGARICS .,.7 



cortina. The cortina, in fact, disappears ver$ early, if present at 

 all. In the young stage, however, the cap bas s mucb smaller width 

 than the bulb, and appears to rest upon it in the way characteristic 

 for this sub-genus. The species is easily known by its corrugated 

 cap, the peculiar yellow or tawny-yellow color of the long Btem 

 and the large spores. Baccardo quotes the si/.*' of Bpores incorrectly. 

 Peck lias named a form with "appressed spol light scales" on the 

 pileus, var. subsquamosus.

The description is adopted from that of Peek who s.-iys it is ap- 

 parently related to G. testaceus Cke. which, according to BCaire is 

 C. rufo-olivaccus Fr.. inn from which it differs in its smaller size, 

 stuffed stem and smaller even spores, it also differs from 0. rubens 

 in the spore character, as I satisfied myself by a study of the type 

 specimens at Albany. X. Y.
