Growing out of the base of standing maple trees, > Pileus 2-3 in. 

 broad, stipe 3-5 in. long. This is a very marked species and rather 

 rare, though it is liable not to be seen by reason of its habit of nest- 

 ling between the roots of the maple. Under a lens the lamellae appear 

 to be beaded on the edge with milk}' globules. 



h' . Lamellce at first yelloio. 



96. A. sPECTABiLis, Fr. — Pileus compact, con vexo -plane, dry ; the 

 cuticle torn into silky scales or fibres. Stipe solid, ventricose, some- 

 what rooting, meal}' above the annulus. Lamellae adnate-decurrent, 

 close, narrow, yellow then ferruginous. Spores ferruginous, oblique, 

 .009X.006 mm. 



At the base of oak stumps. Somewhat csespitose ; pileus 3-5 in. 

 broad ; stipe 3-5 in. long, and 1 in. thick in the middle. Pileus thick, 

 tawny or golden in color, then growing paler ; flesh pale yellow, with 

 here and there a tinge of sulphur. A large coarse species not uncom- 

 mon in autumn, which does not appear to grow eastward. 



97. A. ADiPosus, Fr. — Pileus compact, convexo-plane, obtuse, luteous, 

 glutinous, squarrose with superficial, seceding, concentric, darker 

 scales. Stipe sturted, somewhat bulbous, luteous and seal}' as the 

 pileus. Lamellae adnate, broad, luteous then ferruginous. Spores 

 ferruginous, .007X-005 mm. 



At the base of trees, especially beech. Caespitose, very large, shin- 

 ing when dr}', white within ; the scales thick, fexTuginous. Pileus 3-5 

 in. broad, the stipe 3-5 in. long. This is a beautiful species growing 

 in large tufts. Compared with the preceding, the pileus is very viscid, 

 the stipe nearly equal, the flesh white within, and the lamellae broad. 

 Lea's Catalogue. 



98. A. TUBERCDLosus, Schffiff". — Pileus, fleshy, convexo-plane, obtuse, 

 dry; the cuticle broken up into innate, appressed, small scales. Stipe 

 hollow, incurved, short, bulbous fibrillose; the annulus somewhat 

 membranaceous, deciduous. Lamellae emarginate, broad, serrulate, 

 yellow, somewhat cinnamon. Spores bright ferruginous, elliptic, 

 .0083X.0056 mm. 



Growing out of solid timbers, little decayed. Rather solitary; the 

 pileus 2-3 in. broad; the stipe 1-2 in high, rather slender and some- 

 what bulbous where it starts from the wood. The pileus is quite thick, 

 the flesh white; the lamellae are very broad, 



6. Pileus glabrous^ hygrophanous. 



99. A. MUTABiLis, Schaeff, — Pileus fleshy, convexo-explanate, glab
