563 White : Mt. Desert Fungi 



In damp soil. Although the sheathed Ainanitopsis is a very- 

 variable species, this large form is so well marked by the very- 

 thick felty volva that it seems best to separate it as a variety. It 

 does not closely sheath the base of the stem as in the common 

 form but spreads away above and assumes the shape of a wine 

 glass or goblet. 



* Amanitopsis volvata (Peck) Sacc. Growing singly ; three 

 specimens found.
