The plants collected by me differ from the description of L. 

 gracilis in having an entire, not minutely cracked cuticle. As 

 my variety may possibly be a distinct species, I add a brief 

 description : 



Cap lVo— 2V2 cm broad, at first convex, then expanded, some- 

 what umbonate, glabrous, towards the edge minutely fibrillose- 

 floccose (when seen under a lens), central part fulvous-ochraceous 

 or gilvous, edge pale. Veil fugacious, mostly attached to edge of 

 cap. Stem about 3 cm X 3 mm, below the veil sparingly covered with 

 cottony, floccose scales. Gills white, with a slight gilvous tint, 

 free, rather crowded. Odour faint, sweetish. — 



While L. gracilis Quel, seems to be very much like L. metu- 

 lispora, my plant cannot be confounded with it (or with any 

 other small form of the clypeolaria-trihe). 



10. L. erminea Fr. 



Spores ovate-ellipsoid, 11— 14 x 5V 2 — 6 u. Basidia 4-spored. 



Fig. specim.: »Haare Bjerge«, near Gelsted, grassy banks out- 

 side a coniferous wood, Oct. 1907. - - Also on grassy banks out- 

 side a wood of Pinus, Strib, Sept. 1909. 



The white cap is at first smooth (sub lente slightly and minutely 

 flocculose), later on somewhat silky-filamentose. The stem is at 

 first cottony floccose, then glabrous. 



11. L. Meleagris Sow. 



[Odense, growing somewhat cæspitosely on tanners bark in 

 greenhouse (hot stove), July 1903. — not figured. 



I have not had the opportunity to measure the spores of this 

 characteristic species, but as they are said to be ellipsoid, 8 — llfi 

 long, it probably belongs to this group. — My specimens had a 

 cap of 4— 5 cm diam. , a rather slender stem (8 — 10 cm>, both 

 cap and stem with dark red-brown squamules and becoming 

 reddish when touched or bruised. — As tanners bark is now- 

 adays very rarely used in greenhouses, this fungus undoubtedly 

 has become exceedingly rare]. 



p*. STENOSPORÆ. 



12. L. Cortinarius n. sp. (Plate I, fig. b). 



Spores oblong-ellipsoid, somewhat projectile-shaped (with obli- 

 quely truncate base and lateral pedicel), 8 x 3V 4 (-*• Cystidia obo- 

 vate, about 10 \x broad. 



Fig. specim.: »Skelmose« near Hesselager, wood of Abies, a 

 number of specimens growing dispersedly on the ground among 

 the dead foliage, Oct. 1909. 



Cap 5 l / 2 — 7^2 cm > fleshy, at first somewhat campanulate, then 

 expanded, gibbous; cuticle pale crust-brown, soon cracked into 

 minute squamules. Veil very fugacious, only represented by 

 cobweb-like filaments, extending from the stem to the edge
