- s( THE AGARICACEAE OF MICHIGAN 



Gregarious. On the ground in woods, copses, etc., sometimes in 

 massy places. Throughout the State. July-October. Frequent. 



This is our commonest Nolanea. It may be known by its elongated 

 stem which is often furrowed longitudinally, by its gray gills and 

 by the spores; the latter are distinctly longer than broad, and the 

 angles arc not as clearly and sharply marked as in other species. 

 It is somewhat hygrophanous. The gills are often broadly adnate. 

 There are short sterile cells on the edge of the gills.

 Ft.). 



PILEUS 2-3 cm. broad, campanulate, then expanded, papillate, 

 umber to watery-brown and striate (moist), paler when dry, gla- 

 brous. FLESH thin, scissile, subhygrophanous, fragile. GILLS 

 simiate-adnate, seceding, broader toward front, subdistant to close, 

 subventricose, livid-whitish then somewhat salmon-colored from 

 spores. STEM slender, 3-5 cm. long, 1-2 mm. thick, tubular, pale 

 grayish-brown, glabrous, slightly pruinose at apex, white-mycelioid 

 at base, straight or curved, cartilaginous, sometimes striatulate. 

 SPOKES angular, 9-11 x 6-7 mier., nucleate, salmon-colored in mass. 

 ODOK none or slightly of rancid meal. OYSTIDIA none. 



Scattered. Low places in moist frondose woods. Ann Arbor, Bay 

 View, New Richmond. September. Infrequent. 



Differs mainly from N. mammosa in its more slender habit, smaller 

 size and closer gills. 



**Gills white at first.
