CLASSIFICATION OF AGARICS 



thick above, solid, silk\ ftbrillose, whitish, yiolet tinged within and 



wit! i. equal above the abrupt, depressed-marginate, oblique bulb. 



SPORES narrowly elliptical, slightly rough, 7-9.5 x L5-5.5 micr., 

 rather variable. ODOR and TASTE mild. 



Gregarious. <>n the ground in frondose or mixed woods. August 

 September. Detroit, New Richmond, Marquette, [nfreqnent. 



Well marked by the white or grayish-white pileus, the deep 

 violet or almost amethystine or heliotrope color <»f tin- young gills 

 and the oblique, flattened bulb of the stem. It has a dry pileus, 

 without a viscid pellicle and innsi imi be confused with the Bpeciea 

 of the subgenus Bulbopodium. Wheu young, the color of the u'ilN 

 is in sharp contrast with that of the cap and stem. C. brevipes Pk.

 study. 



379. Cortinarius pulchrifolius Pk. 

 \. V. Stato Mus. Rep. ::::. L880. 



"PILEUS 5-10 cm. broad, convex or expanded, obtuse, silky- 

 fibrillose, whitish <>r reddish-gray, the margin whitened by the veil. 

 GILLS emarginate, broad, subdistant, bright purple <>>■ violet- 

 purple, then umber. STEM 5-10 cm. long, 6-10 mm. thick, solid.

<>ak woods. September. New York. Rare. 



•■This rare species is well-marked by the peculiar color of the 

 young gills, which resembles that of the gills of Clitocybi ochropur- 

 purea." A study of the type showed the spores t<> he markedly 

 larger than in my C. subpulchrifolius, and without the peronate 



stem. I have not Collected it. 



380. Cortinarius rimosus Pk. 

 N. Y. State Mus. Rep. t8, 1896. 



"PILEUS 5-10 cm. broad, firm, convex or plane, glabrous, 

 first pale grayish-violaceous, then tinged reddish brown, the surface 

 cracking into appressed scales or becoming variously rimo
