stipe 4-8 in. liigti, though these dimensions are sometimes greatly ex- 

 ceerled. The pileus varies much in color, being brownish, ochraceous, 

 pallid and even whitish; it is at first slim}'. The stipe is sometimes 

 twisted, and in the variety which most commonly grows with us, the 

 stipe is furfuraceous with minute scurfy particles. 



44. A. PLATYPHYLLUS, Pcrs. — Pilcus fleshy- membranaceous, ex- 

 planate, obtuse, moist, fibrillose-virgate. Stipe stuflTed, equal, soft, 

 naked, striate, pallid ; the root premorse. Lamellte truncate-attached, 

 distant, very broad, white. Spores, .018X-013 mm. 



In woods, on and about rotten logs, common from spring to autumn. 

 Pileus 4-7 in. across, stipe 3-5 in. high, and ^-f in. thick. The pileus 

 is watery, and varies in color from brownish and cinereous to whitish; 

 it is sometimes quite wavy and irregular. The stipe is white, very 

 stout and blunt at the base, with an abundant white mj^celium. Ours 

 may be the variety repens figured by Fries in his " Icones Selectas;" I 

 find the stipe sometimes hollow.

45. A. BDTYRACEUS, Bull. — Pileus fleshy, convexo-expanded, umbon- 

 ate, even, glabrous, moist, expallent, the flesh becoming white. Stipe 

 somewhat stuffed, cartilaginous-corticate, conic, striate, dark reddish. 

 Lamellae nearl}' free, close, crenulate, white. Spores .0076x-0050 mm. 



In woods, not common. Pileus 2-3 in. broad, stipe 2^-3^ in. high. 

 The color of the pileus exceedingly changeable, normally reddish or 

 brownish, then passing through ochraceous or alutaceous to pallid or 

 whitish. The stipe often twisted and downy or villous at the thick- 

 ened base. Our figure and specimens agree well with the figures of the 

 species in Dr. Cooke's illustrations. 



46. A. DRYOPHiLus, Bull. — Pileus somewhat flesh}', rather plane, ob- 

 tuse, somewhat depressed, even, glabrous, expallent. Stipe hollow, 

 glabrous, reddish or yellowish. Lamella sinuate-attached, nearly free, 

 close, narrow, white or pallid. Spores .006 mm. in length. 



Common in woods from early spring to autumn. Pileus 1-2 in. ])road, 

 stipe 2-3 in. high. Pileus commonly reddish-brown, sometimes paler, 

 of a watery substance, and easily detached from the stipe. Stipe 

 of the same color as the pileus, very smooth, often mycclio-enlargcd 

 at the base. 



47. A. ESTENSis, n. sp.— Pileus a little fleshy, conic-campanulatc, then 

 depressed or even revolute, yellowish, with a pallid margin. Stipe
