REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IQII 8l 



This species closely resembles Clitocybe sinopica Fr. 

 and probably has been taken for a small vernal form of that species. 

 It may be separated from it by its wet mossy habitat, its smaller size 

 and specially by its smaller spores. These are more or less obovate 

 and pointed at one end. The farinaceous odor and taste is some- 

 times wanting as in C . i n c i 1 i s Fr. but it has not the crenate 

 margin nor the hollow stem of that species.
