 Plate LXXXI of this Report. 



PILEUS 3-7 cm. broad, convex then expanded, saffron-yellow, 

 with dense, minute, dark-brown, erect squamules on disk, scarcely 

 liygrophanous, not striate. FLESH yellowish-white, thick on disk, 

 thin toward margin, slightly hygrophanous, scissile. GILLS 

 cadmium-yellow, scarcely subdistant, rather thick, emarginate, 

 rather broad, width uniform. STEM 4-8 cm. long, clavate or clavate- 

 bulbous, 9-15 mm. thick below, peronate three-fourths of its length 

 by the chrome-yellow to saffron-yellow universal veil, paler at apex, 

 solid, saffron-colored within, soon dingy, attached to strands of 

 yellowish mycelium. SPOKES subsphoeroid to short-elliptical, 

 6.5-8 x 5.5-6.5 micr., echinulate. 



Gregarious or solitary in mixed woods, Ithaca, N. Y. Not yet 

 found within the borders of the State. Probably to be looked for 

 in the north. The whole surface of the pileus has a velvety ap- 

 pearance and feel. The entire plant is often saffron-colored. It ap- 

 proaches G. callisteus Fr. on the one side and C. limoneus Fr. on 

 the other. It was originally placed under the subgenus Telamonia, 

 but the present characterization of Inoloma admits it here. C. 

 croceofolius Pk. seems to be somewhat related, but averages much 

 smaller and its pileus is more brown and lacks the scales, and the 

 stem is not peronate. 



372. Cortinarius ochraceous Pk. 

 N. Y. State Cab. Report 23, 1872. 



PILEUS 5-8 cm. broad, convex, broadly subumbonate or gibbous, 

 glabrous, pale ochraceous, even or obscurely wrinkled. FLESH 

 thick, whitish. GILLS emarginate. rather broad, subdistant. pallid 

 to pale ochraceous at first, then rusty-cinnamon. STEM 5-10 cm. 

 long, rather stout, 8-12 mm. thick at apex, clavate or clavate-bulb- 

 ou8, bulb 20-38 mm. thick, fibrillose, ochraceous above the white, op- 

 pressed, sheath of the universal veil. SPORES broadly elliptical, 

 slightly rough, obtuse at ends, 9-11.5x6-7.5 micr. 



Under balsam trees. New York. October.
