B. Stipe rooting, definitely tubular, plainly cartilaginous, 

 c. Stipe looolly below, glabrous above. 



5. M PRASiosMus, Fr. — Ill-seented. Pileus somewhat membranace- 

 ous, tough, campanulate convex then explanate. obtuse, rugulose. 

 Stipe hollow; above pallid, glabrous; below thickened, pallid then 

 reddish or brown, somewhat tomentose. Lamellae attached, rather 

 close, white. 



Upon leaves in oak woods. Pileus ^-1 in. in diameter, the stipe 2-3 

 in. long and a line thick. The pileus whitish, the disk often darkened, 

 the stipe tough, dilated at the base, incurved and adhering to the 

 leaves; odor alliaceous, strong, persistent. 



6. M. FDsco-puRPOREUS, Pcrs. — Pileus a little fleshy, convexo-plane 

 somewhat umbilicate, expallent. Stipe hollow, glalrous, dark purple; 

 the base i-eddish-strigose. Lamellae annulate-attached, at length free, 

 distant, reddish. 



In woods among the leaves of beech. Smaller when csespitose, 

 larger when simple. Pileus ^-1 in. broad, stipe 1-3 in. long. Pileus 

 dark purple when dry alutaceous. 



d. Stipe velvety or pruinose throughout. 



7. M. PYRROCEPHALUS, Bcrk. — Pileus a little fleshy, convex then 

 plane, umbilicate, striate-plicate, red-brown. Stipe hollow, densely 

 velvety, brown, pale at the apex, Lamellge adnate, lax, rather distant, 

 somewhat ventricosc, white then pallid. 



In woods, growing among leaves and on rotten wood. Pileus ^-1 in. 

 in diameter, the stipe 2-3 in. long. This is one of Mr. Lea's new 

 species; my specimens agree perfectly except the size, but I judge by 

 the concluding remark in Mr. Berkeley's description, that this is vari- 

 able. 



8. M. ERTTHROPDS, Fr.— Pileus a little fleshy, convex then plane, 

 obtuse, even, growing pale, finally rugose. Stipe hollow, striate, glab- 

 rous, dark red, somewhat pruinose when dry; the base white-strigose. 

 Lamellae seceding- free, broad, lax, venose-connected, entire, whitish. 



In beech woods, among the leaves and on trunks. Pileus ^.l in. 

 broad, stipe l|-2^ in. long. Pileus varying in color, commonly white 

 or pallid. Stipe firm, terete, paler at the apex; finally uniform in 

 color, somewhat compressed, villous inside. Lamellae loose, crisp, 

 connected by veins.
