PILEUS 5 I" cm. broad, firm, obtusely convex, ;ii Length broadly 

 convex to plane, subdiscoid, glutinons when moist, shining when 

 dry, even, glabrons, raw-sienna color to orange-buff (Ridg.), uni- 

 colorou8 } not virgate, margin incurved and cortinate. FLESH 

 compact, white, thick on disk. GILLS emarginate-adnexed, rather 

 narrow, close, at first caesious to pale brownish-drab i Ridg.)) finally 

 clay-color, edge erose-serrate. STEM 5-8 cm. long, round-bulbous to 

 clavate-bulbous, 12-15 mm. thick above, bulb ap to 2 cm. thick, white, 

 firm, solid, fibrillose or floccose-fibrillose. SPORES almond-shaped, 

 S-K) x ."»-(; niici-.. punctate-rough, pale rusty-ochraceous. ODOR and 

 TASTE mild. 



Gregarious or subcaespitose. <>n the ground among spruce and 

 white pine needles. Adirondack Mountains, North Elba, X. ST. 

 September, L915. Collection Kauffman. Infrequent. 



The cracked surface of the pileus and the densely tloccose stem. 

 said to be characteristic <>r the species in Europe, we're not char- 

 acters of the North Elba plants. The stems however, were quite 

 silkv fibrillose with white fibrils. The universal veil is lacking. The 

 spores agree only with the measurements of Britzelmayr. Other 

 authors give larger spores, L0-12x7-8 micr., and segregation may 

 become necessary. The bulb may be subemarginate al first, but it 

 is not depressed and the Cortina is superior.
