Collybia scorzonerea Batsch. 

 Yellow-gilled Collybia. 



(Syl. vol. V. p. 208. Agaricus Limoniiim. Rep. 26, p. 52.) 



This scarcely differs from the preceding species, to which it is subjoined 

 as a variety by Fries, except in its commonly smaller size, yellowish 

 pileus and lemon-yellow lamellae. I have never found it assuming red- 

 dish spots or stains. It grows in similar places and having mentioned its 

 distinctive features it scarcely needs a more complete description. It is 

 not common. Our specimens are from Otsego county and the Adiron- 

 dack mountains, and were collected in July. 



Vestipedes. 



Stem thin, equal, hollow or stuffed, velvety, fibrillose-hairy, floccose or 

 pruinose. 



This tribe, depending on the clothing of the stem alone, includes some 

 heterogeneous material. I have removed from it C. cofifliiens, which has, 

 in the character of its pileus and lamellae, features that ally it to the tribe 

 Tephrophanae and throw it in section B as constituted by Fries.

Velvet-stemmed Collybia. 



(Hym. Eur. p. 115. Syl. vol. v. p. 212.) 



Pileus fleshy, rather thin, convex or nearly plane, obtuse, glabrous,
