Common. Among fallen leaves under oak trees. Claremont,

A large species well marked by its fibrillose pileus, stout stem, 

 evanescent annulus, and farinaceous taste and odor.

 fibrillosus, alutaceus, in centro obscurior ubi fibrillis rufobrunneis 

 ornatus, margine levi, carne alba, odore saporeque farinaceis ;

 stipes aequalis, solidus, subradicans, rufobrunneus, ad apicem albus, 

 velo crasso, molli, albo, evanescente ; sporaeellipsoideae, 10-12 ^x

Pileus lO-Ti cm. latus ; stipes 9-15 cm. longus, 2-3 cm. 



crassus. 



Clitocybe microspora 



Pileus thin, broadly convex or slightly depressed in the center, 

 dry, often eccentric, glabrous or finely and obscurely fibrillose 

 when old, on the margin sometimes irregular or lobed, white or 

 cream-colored, flesh white, odor and taste farinaceous ; lamellae 

 thin, close, narrow, unequal, decurrent, white; stem equal, sub- 

 cartilaginous, hollow, colored like the pileus; spores minute, glo-

Pileus 2.5-6 cm. broad ; stem 2.5-3 c"^- ^C)ng, 6-8 mm. thick. 



Claremont, California. January. C. F. Baker. 



Related to Clitocybe eccentrica Peck, from which it is separated 



by its larger size, pileus never umbilicate, lamellae less crowded, 



stem hollow, and spores smaller. 



Pileus tenuis, late convexus seu centro levlter depressus, sic- 

 cus, saepe eccentricus, glaber vel in maturitate obscure fibrillosus, 

 in margine aliquando irregularis lobatusve, albus vel cremeus,

 angustae, inaequales, decurrentes, albae; stipes aequalis, subcar- 

 tllagineus, cavus, albus ; sporae globosae vel late ellipsoideae, 3-
