oiis. Lamellae distant, i-ather broad, thickish, emargina'e behind 

 pallid. 



Growing out of the cracks in fence rails, in spring. Pileusf ofan 

 inch or less in breadth, stipe f ofan inch long. The margin of the 

 pileus is deeply sulcate, with the interstices darker, which gives it a 

 very neat appearance; the stipe is often slightly attenuated downward. 

 This is one of Mr. Lea's discoveries. 



b. Pileus villous. 



3. L. LECOMTEi. Fr. — Pileus fleshy-tough, infundibuliform, reflexed, 

 hair}', tawny. Stipe short, hairy. Lamellae serrate, crowded, pallid. 



On logs and stumps. Pileus infundibuliform and more or less 

 irregular, 1-3 in. broad. 



4. L. STRiGosus, Fr. — Pileus fleshy-tough, unequal, somewhat de- 

 pressed, strigose-hirsute, tawny-reddish. Stipe excentric, strigose- 

 hirsute. Lamellae decurrent, pallid. 



On logs and stumps. Pileus 1-3 in. broad. Very closely related to 

 the preceding species, but differing in the villous stipe, the shorter 

 and more cvowded hairs of the pileus and the broader lamellae irregu- 

 larly torn. 



c. Pileus glabrous. 



5. L. oMPHALODES, B. tk C. — Pilcus flesh3'-tough, thin, infundibuli- 

 form, glabrous, whitish. Stipe slender, thickened upward, fibrillose 

 and spongy at the base. Lamellae entire, narrow, decurrent, white. 



On rotten sticks on the ground. Pileus 1-2|^ in. across, the stipe 

 I 1 in. long. Pileus in the larger specimens more or less irregular. 

 TJiis is not the L. omphalodes, Fr. My specimens are much larger 

 than those described in the " Notices," but they agree so well other- 

 wise that 1 could not make a new species. The color is not given by 

 Berkeley & Curtis. 



6. L. ciESPiTosDS, B. & C. — Remarkably caespitose. Pileus plane, 

 tough, alutaceous, clotlied with close-pressed, brownish-red fibrils; 

 the margin incurved. Stipe flexuous, tough, striate, grayish-white, 

 fibrillose, solid, formed of fibres. Lamellae entire, white, long-de- 

 current. 



In woods on the ground. Pileus 1^-2 in. across, the stipe 3 in, high, 

 and 2 lines thick. A very curious species, easily distinguished from 

 its allies by its entire lamellae. 



7. L. coCHLEATUs, Pcrs. — Tough, flaccid. Pileus fleshy, tough, ir- 

 regular, somewhat lobed or contorted, glabrous, reddish. Stipe solid.
