New species of fungi 



Charles Horton Peck 



Lepiota nudipes 



Pileus thin, convex, umbonate, minutely brownish-squamulose, 



becoming obscurely striate on the margin, whitish, the umbo dark- 



brown and even ; lamellae thin, moderately close, free, ventricose, 



white ; stem slender, fibrous, equal or nearly so, pallid above, 



brownish and fibrillose below; spores white, elliptic, 5-6// long, 



3-4 M broad. 



Pileus 1.2-2 cm. broad; stem 2.5-4 cm. long, scarcely 1 mm. 

 thick. 



Near St. Louis, Missouri. July. N. M. Glatfelter. Exter- 

 nally this species closely resembles Z. arenicola Peck, but it is easily 

 separated from it by its much smaller spores. Its smaller size, 

 distinct umbo and obsolete or evanescent annulus separate it from 

 L. cristata A. & S. The notes of the collector say "veil none, no 



odor." 



Hygrophorus mephiticus 



Pileus thin, convex, becoming plane or nearly so, glabrous, 

 hygrophanous, yellowish-brown and striatulate on the margin when 

 moist, ochraceous when dry, sometimes tinged with green, flesh 

 whitish, sometimes tinged with yellow, odor mephitic ; lamellae 

 broad, thick, unequal, distant, sinuate, adnexed, sometimes con- 

 nected by veins, often wavy, grayish-violaceous or grayish-purple ; 

 stem equal or tapering at the base, curved or flexuous, brittle, hol- 

 low, colored like or a little paler than the pileus, often with a 

 whitish mycelioid tomentum at the base ; spores white, elliptic, 

 8-12 p long, 6-7 fi broad. 



Pileus 2-4 cm. broad ; stem 3-5 cm. long, 2-5 mm. thick.
