PEcK : NEW SPECIES OF FUNGI 179 
On and about old redwood stumps. California. December. 
W. R. Dudley and E. B. Copeland. The color of this species is 
similar to that of some forms of C. dryophila, but in structure it is 
more closely related to C. radicata. The underground part of the 
stem is sometimes as long as the part above ground. 
Russula luteobasis 
Pileus convex, becoming nearly plane, even or slightly and in- 
distinctly striate on the margin, rosy red or pink, becoming paler 
or yellowish either wholly or in the center only, the cuticle sep- 
arable, flesh white or whitish ; lamellae adnate or adnexed, equal, 
creamy yellow or whitish, becoming dingy with age or in drying ; 
stem nearly equal, slightly furfuraceous, stuffed, white, yellow at 
the base ; spores subglobose, 8 p long, sometimes only 7 » broad. 
Pileus 2.5—7 cm. broad ; stem 2.5—5 cm. long, 4-12 mm. thick. 
Near St. Louis, Mo. June to August. N. M. Glatfelter. A 
Species well marked by the change of color in the pileus and the 
yellow base of the stem. 
Clitopilus sphaerosporus 
Pileus fleshy but thin, nearly plane, with the margin involute — 
or decurved, umbonate or slightly depressed in the center, dry, 
minutely tomentose pubescent, dark gray or blackish-brown, flesh 
White ; lamellae thin, narrow, close, unequal, slightly decurrent, 
whitish, faintly tinged with pink; stem equal or slightly tapering 
upward, solid, firm, colored like the pileus, with a white mycelioid 
tomentum at the base; spores pale pink, globose, uninucleate, 
5-6 w in diameter. ; 
Pileus I~2.5 cm. broad ; stem 2-4 cm. long, 2-4 mm. thick. 
Among fallen leaves in ravines. Near St. Louis, Mo. Au- 
gust and September. Rare. N. M. Glatfelter. The pink tint of 
the lamellae and spores is so faint that by careless observation the 
fungus is liable to be mistaken for a clitocybe. 
Flammula eccentrica 
Pileus thin, broadly convex, obtuse or slightly umbilicate, dry, 
minutely squamulose, tawny, yellowish or reddish ferruginous, 
flesh whitish; lamellae rather broad, close, somewhat sinuate 
adnate, dingy, ochraceous, becoming ferruginous: stem equal or 
slightly tapering upward, commonly eccentric, solid, fibrillose, 
yellowish or dingy ochraceous, becoming brownish without and 
Within ; spores bright ferruginous, elliptic, (1 ong, about 
Su broad. )? ? 4-
