 in wet weather, glabrous, yellowish white becoming brownish or 

 grayish brown, flesh white, odor and flavor farinaceous; lamellae 

 broad, subdistant, slightly adnexed becoming free or nearly so, 

 often wavy or eroded on the edge, whitish becoming pinkish ; stem 

 equal, solid, sliglitly fibrous externally, mealy at the top, white; 

 spores subglobose, angular, .0003-.0004 of an inch in diameter.

The flavor is at first farinaceous and agreeable but it leaves an 

 unpleasant burning sensation in the mouth for a long time. It is 

 therefore probably an unwholesome species and should not be used 

 as food. 



Conoidea subg. nov. 



Small species with the pileus subpersistently conic or campanu- 

 late and stem slender, long and hollow. Small slender species 

 growing ,in damp shaded places, in vegetable mold, among mosses 

 or in bogs and swamps. The lamellae are rather broad, ascending 

 and often wavy or eroded on the edge. The species appear to be 

 peculiar to this country.
