Found in sphagnous marshes, New York. The description is 

 adapted from that of Peck and from his drawings. The pileus is 

 represented as pale smoky brown, the stem almost white and with 

 an oval bulb. "The spotted pilens is a distinctive feature.*' 



349. Cortinarius lanatipes Pk. 

 N. Y. State Mus. Pep. 42, 1889. 



"PILEUS 2.5-7.5 cm. broad, broadly convex or nearly plane, viscid, 

 grayteh, often tinged with yellow, becoming yellowish or subfulvous 

 and virgate with innate tawny fibrils when old. FLESH whitish. 

 Gills adnexed, narrow, close, pale violaceous at first'. STEM short, 

 3-5 cm. long, 6-10 mm. thick, equal or tapering upward above the 

 oval bulb, solid, subannulate, silky above the annulus, loosely fibril- 

 lose-tomentose below, white. CORTINA white. SPORES elliptical, 

 7.8.5 x 4-5 micr." 



In spruce groves, New York. September. The cortina is probably 

 very copious, although it is possible that a white universal veil is 

 also somewhat in evidence. The virgate pileus which changes color 

 in age and the "woolly" covering of the stem are, according to Peck, 

 (lie distinguishing marks. The type-specimens show that its place 

 is in ill is -ton p. The plants are not large. This approaches C. glau- 

 copus Ft. in some respects.
