CLASSIFICATION OF AGARICS 



equal, straight, tubular, cartilaginous, elastic, white-mycelioid ;it 

 l>;isc. tinged ashj brown. SPORES tuberculate-angular, 7 '.» (in 

 eluding apiculus) \ 5 <» micr., Longer than broad, apiculus inn mini ni . 

 CYSTIDIA none. 



Solitary or scattered. On moss or Low places in swamps or wel 

 conifer or mixed woods. Northern Michigan. Julj September. In 

 frequent. 



The conical, shining, hygrophanous pileus and small Bpores dis- 

 tinguish it. The length of spores rarely passes N microns unless 

 apiculus is included. 



629. Nolanea fuscogrisella PL 

 N. V. State Mus. Rep. 39, 1886. 



PILEUS L-2.5 cm. broad, campanulate, more or Less palillate, 

 hygrophanous, glabrous, grayish-brown and striatulate (moist), 

 paler and silky-shining I dry |, papilla darker. < i I LLS rather broad, 

 narrowed behind, adnexed, almosl subdistant, whitish then brighl 

 flesh-colored. STEM 5-7 cm. long, 2-4 mm. thick, glabrous, white-my- 

 celioid toward base, apex pruinose, brownish, often darker than 

 pileus, tubular, cartilaginous. SPORES 7-9x5-6 micr. (incl. api- 

 culus), angular, apiculus prominent. 



Gregarious. On moss. etc.. of low mixed woods. Saul! Ste. Marie. 

 duly. Infrequent. 



This dill'ers from the preceding in iis stonier stem, and le>> conic 

 pileus. The spores are very similar. The gills are broader. In our 

 specimens the stem was invariably darker than the pileus. and 

 boary at base and above by the whin' mycelium. The spores are 

 slightly shorter than the measurements given by Peck. 



630. Nolanea caelestina var. violacea Kauff. 

 Mich. Acad. Sci. Rep. I". L908. 



PILEUS 8-10 mtn. broad, conico-campanulate, lavender, acutely 

 papillate, innately silky-fibrillose, margin even. GILLS adnexed, 

 rather narrow, subdistant, white then flesh color, not reaching to 

 the margin of pileus. STEM slender, 5 cm. Long, l mtn. thi< b 

 glabrous, pruinose at apex, equal, Lavender, darker thau cap. 

 SPORES tuberculate-elliptical, 9-11x6-7 micr. CYSTIDLS aone. 

 niioi! none.
