Peck: New species of fungi 217 



Inocybe Sterlingii 



Pileus fleshy, convex becoming nearly plane, glabrous and 

 slightly viscid in the center when moist, obscurely fibrillose on the 

 incurved subappendiculate margin, brownish in the center, gray 

 or clay-colored elsewhere, taste farinaceous ; lamellae thin, close, 

 adnexed, pallid becoming cinnamon ; stem equal or slightly 

 thickened at the base, solid, floccose-fibrillose white, bay red 

 within; spores even, elliptic, usually uninucleate, 10-12/2 long, 

 6-8 [i broad. 



Pileus 1.5-2.5 cm. broad; stem 2.5-3.5 cm. long, 2-4 mm. 

 thick. Under spruce trees. Trenton, New Jersey. November. 

 E. B. Sterling. 



This species is related to I. vatricosa Fr. from which it is 

 separated by the darker color of the pileus, its solid stem, more 

 fully developed veil and farinaceous taste. The veil is fibrillose or 

 webby and adheres partly to the margin of the pileus and partly 

 to the stem on which it forms a slight fibrillose, evanescent 

 annulus. It is solitary or gregarious and is said by its discoverer, 

 for whom it is named, to be edible. 





Flammula condensa 



Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, often irregular from its 

 crowded mode of growth, usually umbonate, very viscid, brownish- 

 yellow, the umbo reddish-brown or chestnut-colored, flesh white, 

 often tinged with yellow ; lamellae moderately broad, subdistant, 

 adnate or slightly decurrent, sometimes rugosely wrinkled, yel- 

 lowish becoming brownish-ferruginous ; stem equal, hollow, yel- 

 lowish above, pallid or brownish toward the base ; spores elliptic, 

 8-10 p long, 4-5 ji broad. 



Pileus 2-3 cm. broad; stem 2-4 cm. long, 2-3.5 mm. thick. 



Densely cespitose. In clearings in pine woods and on stony 

 hills. Near Washington, D. C. December. F. J. Braendle. 



This species forms large flat-topped clusters of many individuals. 

 It is closely related to F. carbonaria Fr. and F. squalida Peck, 

 but it may easily be separated from both by its more dense mode 

 of growth and its broader and more distant lamellae. 



Psathyrella angusticeps 



Pileus very thin, submembranous, conic or subcampanulate, 

 subacute, often with a small but prominent umbo, hygrophanous,
