THE AGARICACEAE OF MICHIGAN 



Gregarious or subcaespitose. On low, mossy ground of pine, 

 poplar, etc., near Stockholm, Sweden. September, 1907. 



This species has been reported at various times in America. The 

 figures of Cooke (111., PL 780) and of Gillet (No. 210, Champignons 

 de Prance) are, however, very misleading. The above description 

 was made from plants which I collected near Stockholm. It seems 

 probable to me that errors have been made in referring plants to 

 this species and that a full description at this place of what is un- 

 doubtedly the Friesian plant is desirable. 



404. Cortinarius luteus Pk. 

 X. Y. State Mus. Kep. 43, 1890. 



"PILEUS 2-5 cm. broad, conical or convex, unpolished, yellow, 

 often darker on disk. FLESH yellow. GILLS adnexed, yellow, 

 subdistant, moderately broad. STEM equal, 5-10 cm. long, 10-20 

 nun. thick, stout, solid (!), silky-fibrillose, yellow. SPORES sub- 

 globose or broadly elliptical, 7.5 x 6-7 micr. 



••Mossy woods. New York. July." 



This seems to be closely related to the preceding, but the stem 

 is stouter and the type-specimens show the gills to be subdistant 

 and rather broad. The spores are also somewhat different. 



405. Cortinarius aureifolius Pk. 

 X. Y. State Mus. Rep. 38, 1885. 



PILEUS 14 cm. broad, convex-campanulate, then plane, cinna- 

 mon-brown or darker, dry, densely fibrillose-toinentose, sometimes 

 scaly, especially on disk. FLESH thin, yellowish brown or pallid. 

 GILLS adnate, subventricose, broad, close, thin, yellow then fer- 

 ruginous-cinnamon. STEM 3-6 cm. long, 3-6 mm. thick, subequal, 

 rather short, solid, fibrillose, yellow, brown within. SPORES 

 10-12.5 x 5 micr., oblong, smooth, ochraceous-cinnamon in mass. 

 ODOR of radish. TASTE mild. 



"Sandy soil, in thin pine woods." New York, Massachusetts. 

 October. Specimens sent to me from Massachusetts were apparent- 

 ly this species except that they had more slender stems than the 

 type. As Peck lias already pointed out, the species reminds one 

 of an Inocybe and the peculiar oblong spores are further evidence 

 of such a position for it. It seems to be rare and needs more studv.
