New species of fungi 
CHARLES HORTON PECK 
Lepiota xylophila 
Pileus thin, campanulate or convex, umbonate, minutely 
squamulose, white or whitish and even on the margin when fresh, 
becoming brownish with age or in drying, with the umbo darker 
and the margin widely and distinctly plicate-striate ; lamellae rather 
narrow, free, denticulate on the edge, minutely pulverulent, whitish, 
faintly tinged with yellow or greenish-yellow ; stem slender, equal 
or nearly so, hollow, pale-yellowish or greenish-yellow ; spores 
elliptic, uniguttulate, 8-12 » long, 6-7 # broad. 
ileus 2-4 cm. broad; stem 2-4 cm. long, 2-4 mm. thick. 
On wood of red fir, Douglas fir and redwood. Hawaii. Col- 
lected by N. A. Cobb; communicated by H. von Schrenk. 
The species is closely related to Lepiota cepaestipes Sow., from 
_ which it may be separated by its different colors, its peculiar habitat, 
the even margin of the fresh pileus, and its stem which is not en- 
larged at or near the base. ; 
Clitocybe nobilis 
Pileus fleshy, convex, sometimes becoming slightly centrally 
depressed, dry, glabrous, firm, creamy-white becoming buff or 
brownish with age or in drying, often broadly umbonate and darker 
in the center, flesh white, taste and odor agreeable ; lamellae thin, 
close, decurrent, whitish ; stem solid, stuffed, or hollow witha small 
cavity, tapering upward, somewhat bulbous, glabrous, firm, white 
or whitish becoming pallid or brownish — with age or in 
drying ; spores elliptic, 7-8 4 long, 4-5 # broad. 
2 elias ate cet tool : se 5-10 cm. long, 6-8 mm. thick. 
Solitary or gregarious, in clearings, growing in black vegetable 
mold or from buried wood or bark. Deer lake, Ontario. August.
