CLASSIFICATION OF AGARICS 



This large, wine-colored [nocybe was found in abundance in the 

 above Localities during two seasons. Ii corresponded accurately to 

 the figures of Bresadola, Plate 200, in shape and stoutness, in 

 age or after lying for a day, the characteristic dark vinaceous 



color becomes more marked. The umbo is broad and in half-es 

 panded caps a gibbous condition is nol unusual. Ii lias tin- ap- 

 pearance of a Tricholoma. 



/. jurana Pat. seems to be a distinct plant, although referred 

 to by Bresadola as a synonym of /. frumentacea. Our photograph 

 shows the shape and habit well. The pileus is ai fi rst conic- 

 elliptical, then campanulate. The stem is more slender than thai of 

 /. frumentacea, and the spores are smaller, 9-10x5-6 micr. There 

 are no cystidia, and the sterile cells on the edge of the gills are of the 

 same size. The other characters are very similar.

PILEUS 3-6 cm. broad, oval-campanulate then expanded and 

 obtuse or subumbonate, silky-fibrillose, ai length rimose and 

 virgate, often split on the margin, brown, tinged yellowish in age, 

 margin ;it length recurved; FLESH pallid, fragile. <iILLS almost 

 tire, narrow, scarcely ventricose, crowded, cinereous clay color, edge 

 white-fimbriate. STEM is cm. long, 5-7 mm. thick, equal, straight 

 or curved at base, whitish or pallid, solid, subglabrous, apes white- 

 mealy; base usually with <i marked rounded or subdepressed bulb. 

 SPORES short, reniform, very obtuse at ends, smooth, 7-9x5-6 

 micr. CYSTIDIA none; STERILE CELLS on edge of -ills, sac- 

 cate, 30-40x12 micr. ODOR after crushing rather strong ami 

 nauseous; TASTE disagreeable.

Dark individuals of this species have the appearance of non- 

 scaly forms of /. destricta and a microscopic examination is usually 

 necessary to distinguish them. In age the color of different caps
