a. Pileus scaly or priiiyiose. 



82. A. CERViNDS, Schaeff. — Pileus fleshy, campanulate, then expanded, 

 even, glabrous ; the cuticle afterward seceding in fibrils or scales ; the 

 margin naked. Stipe solid, black-fibrillose. Lamellae free, white, then 

 flesh-color. Spores regular, .0058X-0046 mm. 



On stumps and old logs in woods ; one of the commonest Agarics 

 throughout the year from early spring till winter. Pileus commonly 

 about 3 in. in diameter, and stipe 3 in. long, though it varies consider- 

 abl}' in size, as well as in color, and is often found much larger than 

 these dimensions. Color sooty, smoky-gray, tawny-yellow and whitish, 

 the stipe often white. 



83. A. GRANDLARis, Peck. — Pileus convex, then expanded, somewhat 

 umbonate, rugose-wrinkled, sprinkled with minute blackish granules, 

 brown or brownish-yellow. Stipe solid, pallid or brown, velvet}', with 

 a short, close plush. Lamellae free, close, ventricose, whitish then 

 flesh-color. Spores nearl}' globose, about .005 mm. in diameter. 



On old logs in woods, especially in damp ravines. Pileus 1.^ 2^ in. 

 broad, stipe 2-3 in. long. This is a very pretty species, not uncommon 

 in our woods. I at first took it for the large form of A. nanus, Pers., 

 though I could never find a white stipe; afterward I found that Prof- 

 Peck had made a new species of it, as above. The granules form a 

 sort of plush which is more dense on the disk of the pileus and on its 

 wrinkles. 



h. Pileus glabrous. 



84. A. LEONiNDS, Schseff". — Pileus somewhat membranaceous, cam- 

 panulate then expanded, glabrous, nak(Ml, luteous; the margin striate. 

 Stipe solid, glabrous, striate. Lamellae free, yellow flesh-color. Spores 

 regular, elliptic. 



On deca^-ed branches in woods. Pileus 1-3 in. broad, stipe 2-3 in. high. 

 The pileus is tawny yellow, shaded with briglit orange or purplish- 

 brown; the stipe is downy at the base, tapering upward, twisted and 

 striate, 3'ellow or ochraceous shaded with orange. 



85. A. CHRYSOPHiEus, Scliseff". — Pileus somewhat membranaceous, 

 campanulate then expanded, even, naked, glabrous and virgate, 

 cinnamon ; the margin striate. Stipe disposed to be hollow, glabrous. 

 Lamellae free, white then flesh-color. 



On trunks of beech and other wood; somewhat gregarious. Pileus 

 1-3 in. across, stipe 2-4 in. long. The color of the pileus yellowish or 

 ochraceous-brown; the stipe whitish, mostly twisted.
