738 THE AGARICACEAE OF MICHIGAN 



Our specimens had close gills, whereas the European plant is 

 said to have crowded gills. Otherwise it seems to belong here. 

 Barla says the odor is like that of Armillaria caligata, or of jasmine, 

 at first agreeable then nauseous. 



780. Clitocybe sinopica Fr.

"PILEUS 2-3 cm. broad, thin, soon plane and depressed, umbili- 

 cate, dry, at first glabrous then flocculose, brick-red then becoming 

 pale. FLESH white, elastic. GILLS decurrent, very crowded, 

 rather broad, white becoming yellowish. STEM 2-4 cm. long, 3-8 

 mm. thick, stuffed, equal, subfibrillose, concolor or yellowish. 

 SPORES 6-8x4-5 micr. ODOR and TASTE strong, farinaceous." 



Woods. Spring and summer. Infrequent. Reported by Long- 

 year. C. praecox might be mistaken for it, but that species has a 

 stouter habit, is quite fleshy on the disk, and the gills are not at all 

 crowded. 



781. Clitocybe pulcherrima Pk. 

 Jour, of Mycology, Vol. 14, 1908. 



PILEUS 3-7 cm. broad, convex, then umbilicate-depressed, citron- 

 yellow to cream-color (Sacc), fading, opaque, moist, not hygroph- 

 anous, soft, slightly silky-tomentose on disk, margin even. FLESH 

 white or sometimes tinged cream color, thin on margin. GILLS 

 equally decurrent, narrow, subdistant, ocliraceous-yellow, few fork- 

 ed, edge entire. STEM 4-8 in. long, equal or subequal, spongy at 

 base, stuffed then hollow, at first silky-tomentose then fibrillose 

 with loose longitudinal fibrils, even. SPORES globose, 4-5.5 micr. 

 diameter, 'minutely echinulate, white. ODOR and TASTE mild. 



On decaying leaves or wood. Detroit, New Richmond. Septem- 

 ber-October. Infrequent. 



The above description was made from fresh co-type material, at 

 the time the type was sent to Peck. The spores have an obscure 

 angularity, and are very minutely spinulose. In this character
