CLASSIFICATION OF AG ARK HI 



shining, margin at first straighl and Boon naked. PLESB bud- 

 membranaceous, concolor. GILLS adnate-seceding, broad, cl< 

 thin, ochraceous-pallid at first then somewhat rustj brown. STEM 

 i'-.") cm. long, rather Blender, 2-3 mm. thick, equal, pallid or Bub- 

 rufous toward base, often curved a1 base, silky-fibrillose below, 

 subcingulate at or above the middle by silky-white remnants oj the 

 rather copious cortina, at length tubular, base white-mycelioid. 

 SPOKES narrow-elliptical, smooth, 6.5-7x4-5 micr. BASIDIA 

 it. xi; micr., t-spored. ODOE none. TASTE slight. 



Subcaespitose or solitary on very rotten wood, in coniferous or 

 mixed woods. New Richmond. September. Infrequent 



Known by the very marked subacute umbo, reddish-fulvouf! 

 pileus, the cingnlate stem, spores ami habitat Peck placed it 

 under the Telamonias, but although Blight colored floccules are 

 sometimes present on the edge of the annulus, there is no other 

 indication of a universal veil. When fresh there is sometimes a 

 fleeting tint of violaceous at the apex of the stem. Sometimes 

 grows on logs when these are far advanced in decay.

"Swamps. Massachusetts. October. Closely allied to C. acui 

 from which it differs in the darker color of the young moist pilenfl 

 and whiter color of the mature <\r\ pileus, the white color of the 



young stem, the adnexed uills. and especially by the larger Bpores 

 and absence of striae from the pileus."
