face with a slight gelatinous feel. FLESH firm at first, becoming 

 soft. GILLS almost close, broad, rounded or abruptly narrowed 

 behind but reaching the stem-like base, ventricose, thin, whitish 

 then tinged Besh color, finally rusty-brown. SPORES spherical, 

 smooth, 6-7 micr. diam., rusty-brown. 



S'ar. plicatilis Pk. has a deeply striate pileus. Found at Bay 



View. 



On decaying wood of frondose trees. Throughout the State. 

 June to November. Common. 



The smaller size, presence of striatums on the margin of the 

 pileus even when dried, the glabrous surface of the pileus and its 

 tinge of gray, for the most part distinguish this species from the 

 preceding. From C. dpplanatus it is easily separated by the gills, 

 which in the latter species are very narrow toward the base and run 

 together almost in lines. 



561. Crepidotus applanatus Fr. 

 Epicrisis, 183G. 



PILEUS 1-3 cm. broad, variable in shape, suborbicular, reni- 

 form, cuneiform or spatulate, convex, soon plane, often depressed 

 behind, sessile or with a short, compressed, white, tomentose base, 

 glabrous, hygrophanous, watery-white and striatulate on the mar- 

 gin when moist, white when dry. GILLS very narrow, decurrent, 

 crowded, white then cinnamon. SPORES globose, 5-G micr. diam., 

 smooth. 



Gregarious on decayed wood, logs, stumps, etc. Ann Arbor, New 

 Richmond. September. Infrequently found. 



Known from the other species by its crowded, narrow gills which 

 taper almost to lines where they reach the stem. The pileus be- 



n s convolute on drying and often retains its striations on the 



1h in margin. It has not been found in the State very often, but is 

 probably widely distributed. Ricken interprets it differently, as- 

 signing to it elliptical spores. 



562. Crepidotus stipitatus sp. nov. 



PILE1 S 1 :: cm. broad, convex, suborbicular to renifomi, hygro- 

 phanous, glabrous, watery-white to white, stipitate, faintly striatu- 

 late mi the margin when moist, silky when dry, margin decurved. 

 FLESH while, arm, rather thick behind, thin in front. GILLS
