Odontia lateritia 15. & (\ 



On a decorticated, prostrate pine trunk in woods. North Elba. 

 September. The sitcciniens on pine are thinner than those on 

 oak, and, where the snrface of the wood is smooth, the fungus 

 is to some extent separable from it. The species is doubtless 

 the same as Phlebia hydnoidea Schw. and should take 

 the name Odontia hydnoidea (Schw.). 



Nidularia piilvinata (Schw.) Fr. 



Fine specimens were found in North Elba, growing on decor- 

 ticated wood of spruce. This fungus was first described by 

 Schweinitz under the name O y a t h u s p u 1 v i n a t u s. Fries 

 changed the name to Nidularia pulvinata, and recently 

 the species has been transferred to another genus, and it stands 

 as Granularia pulvinata ( Schw. ) White.

 EDIBLE FUNGI 



Tricholoma subacutum Pk. 



SUBACUTE TRICHOLOMA 

 PLATE 82, FIG. 7-14 



Pileus ovate or subcampanulate, becoming broadly convex or 

 nearly plane, usually prominently and acutely umbonate, dry, 

 silky fibrillose or virgate with innate brown or blackish fibrils, 

 cinereous, grayish brown or blackish brown, the umbo commonly 

 darker, sometimes black; lamellae rather close, rounded behind, 

 adnexed, white; stem rather long, equal, solid, silky fibrillose, 

 white; spores broadly elliptic or subglobose, .0002o-.0003 of an 

 inch long, .0002-.0002o broad. 



The subacute tricholoma is easily recognized by its prominent 

 pointed umbo, by the minute, radiating, brown or blackish lines 

 or fibrils on its dry cap and by the white color of its flesh and 

 stem. It is not abundant, and has been found by me in North 

 Elba only. It grows in woods and in groves of young spruce 

 and balsam fir trees, appearing in September. The cap varies 

 in color, being pale gray, grayish brown or blackish brown. The 

 umbo is frequently darker than the rest, and in dark colored
