CLASSIFICATION OF ACAllU'S 361 



orange (Bidg.), finally becoming tawny. FLESH soft, white, thick 

 on disk. GILLS ;n first adnate-snbdecnrrenl then Binnate to emai 

 ginate, close, moderately broad, ai first caesius-whitish, then ochra- 

 ceous-buff t<» argillaceons, edge entire. STEM 8 12 cm. Long, I - cm. 

 thick above, clavate-bulbous or ponnded-bnlbous, Bolid, ;it firsl 

 sheathed by a whitish universal veil which is ai length broken into 

 yellowish-ochraceous annular patches terminating above in a ring. 

 SPORES elliptical, almond-shaped, L2-15x6-7.5 micr., tuberculate, 

 pnsty-yellow. ODOH and TASTE Blightly of coal-tar or radish. 



Gregarious to snbcaespitose. <>n the ground in forests of balsam- 

 fir. Adirondack Mountains, North Elba, New York. Collection 

 Kauil'man. September, l'.M I. Rare. 



A Large, northern species agreeing in all respects with specimens 

 which I collected at Stockholm, Sweden. The collapsed cortina 

 unites with the upper portion of the universal veil to form a band- 

 like annulus. It was reported from New York by Peck in N. Y. 

 State Mus. Bull. 150 ; 1910. Not vet found in Michigan. 



347. Cortinarius maculipes Pk. 

 N. Y. State Mns. Rep. 54, L901. 



"Pilens :; i; cm. broad, convex, becoming nearly plane, glabrous, 

 hut I'urcrril irith <i trnacious gluten, bay-red, becoming paler with 

 age. FLESH whitish. GILLS thin, close, rounded behind, Blightly 

 adnexed, whitish at first, becoming brownish-cinnamon. STEM 5-7.5 

 cm. long, (>-12 nun. thick, equal or slightly tapering upward, sub- 

 radicating, solid or stuffed, silky-fibrillose, scaly-spotted, sometimes 

 slightly annulate. SPORES elliptical, scarcely rough, 7.5-9x5-6 

 micr." 



The pileus of dried specimens is chestnut-brown and Bhining. 

 Saccardo gives the spore-measurements much Larger, which is clearly 

 an error. Peck says "its prominent characters are the dark colored 

 pilens smeared with tenacious gluten, the pale young gills and the 



spotted stem. The spots are formed by the brown fibrils thai at 

 first coat the stem, and resemble those of Armillaria megalopus 

 Bres." as shown in Fung. Trid.. PI. 17. These Bcaly spots are clearly 



the remains of a universal veil. The type specimens are of i Lerate 



size.
