172 THE AGARICACEAE OF MICHIGAN 



.sill:// on drying, Livid-bay, fading to tan with reddish disk, margin 

 decorated by the remains of cortina, even. FLESH white, thin, 

 hygrophanous, soft and pliant. GILLS adnexed-seceding, close 

 rather aarrow, subventricose, whitish then alntaceous, edge min- 

 utely white-fimbriate. STEM 3-6 cm. long, 4-6 mm. thick, equal, 

 stuffed then hollow, white at first then dingy ochraceous, fibrous- 

 ilcsliv. flexuous, twisted at times, pruinose-floccose at apex, floccose 

 abovi middle from the sub persistent cortina. at length fibrillose 

 splitting longitudinally in age. SPORES 10-12x5-7 micr., nar- 

 rowly elliptic, acute at one end, subobtuse at distal end. CYS- 

 TIDIA none; sterile cells on edge of gills short, slender, 30-45x6 

 micr. ODOR and TASTE slight. 



( : regarious. Ground, in mixed woods. New Richmond. Septem- 

 ber. Infrequent. 



Peck says it is very variable in color and in the development of 

 the eoii ina. Sometimes a distinct annulus adheres to the stem and 

 is then easily mistaken for a Fholiota, other specimens show a slight 

 development of the cortina. Tbe odor of radish was slight in our 

 specimens and the gills were hardly ventricose and rather narrow. 

 It appears as a plant of small stature at times. The colors of the 

 pileus, the rather floccose stem, and the short sterile cells of the 

 gills distinguish it.
