CLASSIFICATION OP AGARK S 



buff or watery-white (moist), white or tinged slightly yellowish or 

 brownish and silky shining (drj i, glabrous, margin striatulate 

 (moist). FLESE thin, white. GILLS broadly adnaU to subdecur- 

 rent, nol sinuate, moderately close, rather broad, thickish, whitish 

 then deep flesh-colored. STEM I t; cm. long, 2-5 mm. thick, equal or 

 tapering upward, glabrous, stuffed with ;i firm pith, cuticle Bub 

 cartilaginous, innately silky-striatulate, somewhat pellucid-white, 

 elastic. SPORES sphoeroid-augular, 7 micr. diameter, nucleate, 

 deep fiesh color in mass. TASTE and ODOK none 



Solitary. On the ground or on rotten logs in frondose or cedar 

 woods. Ann Arbor, Marquette. September. Rare. 



This differs from C. subvilis in its small spores, whitiHh color, 

 close gills and lack of odor. The stem is rather elastic for the 

 genus and inclines to thai of Xolanea. The pileus is depressed 

 around the low umbo and tinged brownish there. It has a Btouter 

 stem and smaller spores than Entoloma sericcUum, and is bvero- 

 phanous.

It differs from C. woodianus in the color, subdistant uilK and 

 spores. From similar species in other pink-spored genera, it difl 

 ip\ its fleshy fibrous stem and its adnate, nol seceding gills.
