,.-, s THE AGARICACEAE OF MICHIGAN 



479. Inocybe curreyi Berk. 



( »n i lines of Brit. Fung., 1860. 

 [llustration: Cooke, 111., PI. 398. 



PILEUS 2-4 cm. broad, irregularly convex-campanulate, obtuse, 

 do1 ombonate, gibbous at times, appressed-fibrillose, at length ri- 

 iii. isc. pale tawny-yellowish, edge undulate; FLESH white. GILLS 

 slightly adnexed, rather broad, close, becoming smoky -olivaceous, 

 edge white-fimbriate. STEM 2-4 cm. long, variously curved, taper- 

 ing upward from a subclavate base, not bulbous, solid, slightly 

 fibrillose, glabrescent, whitish at first, furfuraceus-scaly at apex. 

 SPOKES elliptic-subreniform, obtuse at ends, 7-9.5x5-5.5 micr., 

 smooth, fuscous-cinnamon in mass. CYSTIDIA none. STERILE 

 CELLS on edge of gills saccate. ODOR strongly earthy when 

 crushed. 



Gregarious. On the ground among grass in frondose woods. Ann 

 Arbor. July-August. Not infrequent. 



This plant is referred to this form with some hesitation as publish- 

 ed details of Berkley's species, especially as to the microscopic char- 

 acters, are insufficient. The color of the pileus approaches /. fas- 

 tigiata rather closely, but it is not conical nor truly umbonate, and 

 the spores are constantly smaller. From the following it is dis- 

 tinguishable by the very different form of the stem and by the color 

 of the pileus. Patouillard gives the spores 6x1 micr., in which he 

 is quite at variance with the British authors. 



480. Inocybe cookei Bres. 

 Fung. Trid., Vol. 2, 1892. 

 [llustration: Ibid, PL 121. 



I' ILEUS 1.5-4 cm. broad, subconic-campanulate, expanded-um- 

 bonate, silky-fibrillose, at length rimose, glabrous on center, straw- 

 i/rlioir, becoming .sordid lutescent, margin at length wavy or split; 

 I LESB whitish. (JILLS sinuate-adnexed or almost free, scarcely 

 ventricose, narrow, close, whitish at first, soon tinged ashy-ochra- 



ceous-cinni n, edge white-fimbriate. STEM 2.5-5 cm. long, 3-5 



mm. thick, equal, solid, silky-fibrillose, pruinose at apex, with a 

 marginate distinct bulb, whitish at first, lutescent. SPORES 

 8-9.5 s L5-5.5 micr., elliptic-subreniform, obtuse at ends, smooth.
