CLASSIFICATION OF AG ARK ;;.-, 



PILEUS 5-10 cm. broad (rarely broader), vase-shaped or trumpet' 

 shaped, truncate when young, ;u Length deeply excavate-funnel form, 

 firm, superficially Qoccose or subscaly, yellow at first, <ii length 

 rufescent to ora >i ge, margin becoming undulate a1 times. FLESH 

 rather thick, confluenl wiili the stem, white. GILLS deeply decur- 

 rent, ridge-form, close to subdistant, dichotomously forked, anas- 

 tomosing throughout, ochraceus to rufous-yellowish, sometimes 

 darker. STEM short, whole plant 6-15 cm. high (rarelj 20 cm.), 

 1-2.5 cm. thick, solid, glabrous, pallid-ochraceus, whitish al base, 

 firm, sometimes abruptly short-attenuate al base, often deep in the 

 ground. SPORES elliptical, "12-15x7-7.2 micr.", smooth, ochra-

On the ground in hemlock forests of oorthern Michigan, Mar- 

 quette, Huron Mountains. July-August, Infrequent. 



A most striking plant when in full luxuriance, forming a Large 

 vase with considerable capacity to its deep interior. It occurs 

 gregariously but sometimes several arise at one place or apparently 

 from the same stem. 1 have not seen it in the portion of the state 

 where hemlock and pine are unknown. Like the preceding, it is 

 scarcely possible to confuse it with any other species.
