times retained in the dried specimens. By neglecting the spore 

 characters, squalid spore-stained specimens of this species were erro- 

 neously referred, in the 24th Report, to C. mollis, a species not yet 

 found in our State, though it has been reported from North Carolina, 

 Ohio and Massachusetts. 



Crepidotus croceitinctus, n. sp. 



Saiiron-tiuted Agaric. 



Pileus eight to twelve lines broad, convex or nearly plane, sessile, 

 glabrous, sometimes with a white villosity at the base, moist, yelloiu- 

 ish ; lamella moderately broad, rounded behind, whitish, becoming 

 dull saffron-yellow, then ferruginous ; spores ferruginous, suhglobose 

 or broadly elliidtical, .0002 to .00025 in. long. 



Decaying wood of poplar and beech. Adirondack mountains and 

 Day, Saratoga county. July. 



This species is separated from C. dor salts by its glabrous pileus and 

 its less globose spores, and from C. crocopliyllus by its larger size, yel- 

 low color and the absence of squamules from the pileus. Its spores 

 are of a brighter ferruginous color than in most of our other species. 



Crepidotus putrigena, B. & G, 



Rotten-wood Agaric. 



Pileus thin, convex, subreniform, often imbricated, sessile, sliyMly 

 tomentose with a more dense wliite villosity at the base, moist, striatu- 

 late on the margin, Avhitish or yellowish-white; lamella? rather close, 

 broad, rounded behind, whitish, becoming ferruginous; spores globose, 

 .00025 to .0003 in. broad. 



Decaying wood. Brewerton. September. 



This species is perhaps too closely allied to C. malachius, from 

 which it scarcely differs, except in the villose-tomentose pileus. The 

 lamellae are three or four times broader than the thickness of the 

 flesh of the pileus. 



Crepidotus herbarum, Pk. 



Herb-inhabiting Agaric. 



Pileua thin, two to five lines broad, resupinate, suborbicular, 

 clothed with a white, downy villosity, incurved on the margin when 

 young, sometimes becoming reflexed, sessile, dimidiate and less 

 downy ; lamellae rather narrow, subdistant, radiating from a naked 

 lateral or eccentric point, white, then subferruginous ; spores ellipti- 

 cal, .00025 to .0003 in. long, .00014 to .00016 broad. 



Dead stems of herbs and dead bark of maple. North Greenbush 

 and Adirondack mountains. August and September. 



Crepidotus versutus, Pk. 



Evasive Aafaric. 

 Pileus four to ten lines broad, at first resupinate, then reflexed, 

 reniform or dimidiate, sessile, white, clothed with a soft, downy or 

 tomentose-villosity, incurved on the margin ; lamellae rather broad.
