Hygrophorus albipes. 



Pileus convex, glabrous, grayish-brown, the margin strongly 

 decurved ; lamellae narrow, subdistant, arcuate and commonly 

 very decurrent, whitish, becoming darker with age ; stem slender, 

 solid, glabrous, attenuated at the base, white without and within ; 

 spores subglobose or broadly elliptical, 5—6. 5 /j? long. 



Pileus about 1.2 cm. broad; stem 2.5-3.5 cm. long, 3-5 mm. 

 thick. 



Massachusetts. September. Dr. G. E. Francis. 



The species is related to H. Peckii and H. spliacrosporus.

Omphalia aurantiac a. 



Pileus very thin, broadly convex or nearly plane, glabrous, 

 striatulate when moist, pale orange, the margin inflexed ; lamellae 

 thick, distant, decurrent, pale orange ; stem short, often curved, 

 colored like the pileus ; spores elliptical, 7.5 fi long, 4// broad. 



Pileus 1.2-2.5 cm. broad; stem 1.2-2.5 cm. long, about 1 mm. 

 thick. 



Cespitose on old fir tree logs in woods, Portland, Oregon. 

 February. Dr. H. Lane. 



The whole plant is pale orange when fresh, but the pileus and 

 stem lose their color to some extent in drying. The species dif- 

 fers from O. umbellifera in its cespitose mode of growth, orange 

 color, more narrow lamellae and larger spores. 



Caxtharellus sphaerosporus. 



Pileus thin, broadly convex or subinfundibuliform, glabrous, 

 grayish-brown ; lamellae few, narrow, distant, sparingly branched, 

 decurrent, cinereous; stem slender, flexuous, solid, colored like 

 the pileus ; spores globose, 7.5-10 « broad. 



Pileus 1.5-3 cm. broad; stem 2.5-3.5 cm. long, about 4 mm. 

 thick. 



On the ground. Frenchman's Cove, Newfoundland. Rev. A. 

 C. Waghorne. 



Caxtharellus candidus. 



Pil 



attached 



\ thin, 8-20 mm. broad, dry, hairy-tomentose, sessile, often 

 by the vertex, either even, longitudinally plicate or con- 

 centrically sulcate, white ; lamellae narrow, branched or sparingly 

 anastomosing, straight, wavy, crisped or interrupted, white or 

 whitish.
