Charles Hc»rton Peck 



Clitopilus Davisii 



Pileus thin, convex, becoming nearly plane, glabrous, creamy 

 while or buff, flesh white, odor and taste farinaceous; lamellae 

 narrow, thin, close, adnate or slightly decurrent, white becoming 

 flesh- colored ; stem slender, equal or slightly tapering upward, 

 sohd or stuffed, subbulbous, white or whitish, shining, becoming 

 brown or brownish with age, often with a white mycelium at the 

 base; spores subglobose, angular, uninucleate, 8—10/2 broad. 



Pileus 2-;^ cm. broad ; stem 4-7 cm. long, 2-6 mm. thick. 



Gregarious ; in dry, gravelly soil- Stow, Massachusetts. Sep- 

 tember. Simon Davis. The pileus is said to be umbonate in the 

 fresh state, but in the dried specimens it is subumbilicate, 



Pileus tenuis, convexus, deinde subplanus, glaber, flavus, carne 

 albida, odore saporeque farinaceis ; lamellae angustae, tenues, con- 

 fertae, adnatae vel leviter decurrentes, albae, deinde incarnatae ; 

 stipes gracilis, aequalis vel sursum leviter attenuatus, solidus fare- 

 tusve, subbulbosus, nitidus, albidus, in maturitate brunnescens, 

 saepe basi mycelio albo ; sporae subglobosae, angulares, uninu- 

 cleatae, S-io ft latae. 



Pileus 2-3 cm, latus ; stipes 4-7 cm. longus, 2-6 mm. crassus, 



Eccilia flavida 



Pileus thin, convex, glabrous, umbilicate, pale yellow, obscurely 

 striate when dry ; lamellae thin, somewhat close, decurrent ; stem 

 slender, glabrous, hollow, colored like the pileus or a little paler, 

 commonly with a white mycelium at the base ; spores subglobose, 



angular, 8-12 /x x 6-8 //. 



Pileus 2-2.5 cm. broad; stem 2.5-3.5 cm. long, 1.5-2 mm. 



thick. 



Stow, Massachusetts. September. George E. Morris. In 



the dried specimens the umbilicus has a whitish color and the lam- 

 ellae are colored like the pileus. 



Pileus tenuis, convexus, glaber, umbilicatus, flavidus, siccatus 

 obscure striatus; lamellae tenues, subconfertae, decurrentes; stipes 

 gracilis, glaber, fistulosus, in colore pileo similis, saepe basi mycelio 

 albo; sporae subglobosae, angulares, 8-12 fi x 6-8 [i.
