attached, close, white chaniring to brown. Spores browu, sometimes 

 inclined to be irregular in shape, .OOSX-OOS mm. 



Upon lawns, on grassy places along paths; sometimes very abund- 

 ant after rains in spring, and the forepart of summer. Pileus 1^-3 in. 

 in diameter, stipe 2-4 in. higli. Pileus white or palc-tawny, sometimes 

 yellowish; stipe somewhat llcxuous, equal or tapering downward, white 

 or shaded with buff; the annulus often dependent in fragments from 

 the edge of the pileus. 



B. Lignalilc or epiphytal, generally ccespitose. 

 a. Pileus scaly, not hygrophanous. 

 a'. LamelloB at first whitish. 



93. A. SQCAKKOsoiDES, Pcck. — Pileus firm, convex, viscid when 

 moist, at first densely covered by erect papillose or subspinose tawny 

 scales. Stipe equal, firm, stuffed, rough with thick squarrose scales, 

 white above the thick floccose annulus, pallid or tawny below. 

 LamelljE close emarginate, at first whitish, then pallid or dull cinna- 

 mon. Spores elliptic, ferruginous, .005X.004 mm. 



Dead trunks and old stumps of maple in woods, in autumn. 

 Densely cajspitose; pileus 2 4 in. broad, stipe 3-5 in. long. This 

 species is closely related to A. squarrosus, with which it has no doubt 

 been confused; but the latter is dry, not viscid, and is differently 

 colored. I take this to be the A. squarrosus of Lea's Catalogue. 



94. A. i.iMoNELLUs. Peck. — Pileus thin, convex or expanded, some- 

 what uml)onate, viscid, rough with scattered erect reddish-brown scales, 

 lemon-yellow. Stipe equal, solid, rough with revolute or recurved 

 scah-s. pallid (»r yellowish ; the annulus lacerate. Lamellae narrow, 

 close rniiii.l.-,1 behind, wliitisli. Spores elliptic, ferruginous, .OOGx-005 

 nun. 



Prostrate trunks of beeeli. in woods. Cffispitose ; pileus 1-2 in. 

 broad, stipe 2-3 in. long. This species is easily distinguished by its 

 lively lemon-yellow color. 'I'he redilish brown scales on the surface of 

 the pileus finally become scattered aiid remote. 



95. A. Ai-iiucKKNiLATUS, Peck. — Pileus fleshy, firm, convex or cam- 

 panuhite, H(»mewhat uinbonatc, viscid, rough with dark-brown or 

 blackish floccosj' scales, yellc»wish-brown. Stipe firm, nearly equal, 

 stuffed or hollow, while above the evanescent annulus, scaly and 

 pallid below. Lamellaj broad, rather distant, emarginate, the edge 

 wliite crennlate, grayish, then ferruginous. Spores somewhat elliptic, 

 rather acute at each end, OIlX-OOG mm.
