CLASSIFICATION OF AGAR* kl g 



Stockholm Museum there is a "rtfbellus" tint to the Btem and gills 

 Inn otherwise the figures would represent the Adirondack specimens 

 well. 



430. Cortinarius badius I'k. v.-ir. 



Differs from the type in the gills becoming at first whitish, stem 

 whitish, pileus watery cinnamon to baj brown when moist, fading 

 to ochraceous or pale tan, obtuse. The Bporee measure LO L2z6-7 

 micr., elliptical, Bcarcely rough, cinnamon brown in mass. 



On mossy ground, I rondose woods. Ann Arbor. .Mo and 

 ber. Infrequent. 



This little plant approaches C. badius quite closely in tin- ^\/>- 

 the spores, and by neglecting the colors, was formerly referred to It. 

 h needs further study. C. punctata Fr. (sense of Ricken) differs 

 in its darker-colored stem and gills, 



431. Cortinarius impolitus sp. nov. 



PILEUS 8-2(1 nun. broad, small, firm, conic-campanulate then 

 expanded, obsoletely umbonate, obtuse, minutely fibrillose-scaly, 

 fibrils offen dense at first, hygrophanous, umber to chestnut-cinna- 

 mon at first, becoming pale fawn or sometimes rnfoiis-ochraceous, 

 silky on the decurved margin, even. FLESH thin, concolor. 

 GILLS adnate, relatively broad, sub-distant, thickish, at first whit- 

 ish or pallid then cinnamon, edge entire. STEM ■_''_'.."> cm. long, 

 1-3 mm. thick, slender, equal, Btuffed, brownish or f\ 

 nutate about ih< middle by ;i fioccose, subpersistent, whitish ring, 

 silky fibrillose, cortina dingy whitish. SPOBES narrow Bubfusi- 

 form, subacute at ends, 9-10 s I L5 micr.. smooth. BASIDIA 27 I 7 

 micr. ODOB and TASTE aone. 



Gregarious or subcaespitose. On Band} >oii among mosses in 

 low, moist places in while pine and beech woods. New Richmond. 

 September-October. Bather frequent locally. 



A small species, marked by the median, subpersistent annulus, 

 the dense, minute fibrils on the pileus and by the color and the 

 spores. The annulus may appear below the middle or rarelj 

 absent altogether: in the latter case faint whitish rones mark the 

 stem. It seems to be. partial to sandy regions.
