80 Peck : New species of fungi 



age ; stem nearly equal, fibrillose, solid, whitish or pale-yellow 

 and silky at the top, colored like the pileus below and fibrillose, 

 irregularly striate and subreticulate, the double veil whitish or 

 yellovvish-white and sometimes forming an imperfect annulus ; 

 spores tawny-ochraceous, subglobose or broadly elliptic, uni- 

 nucleate, 8-10 jx long, 6-y a broad. 



Pileus 3-10 cm. broad; stem 7-10 cm. long, T-2 cm. thick. 



Moist shaded places under hemlock trees. Ellis, Mass. Au-

gust to October. G. E. Morris. The species belongs to the 



section Telamoiiia, 



Stropharia Schraderi 



Pileus fleshy, firm, convex becoming nearly plane, dry, fibril- 

 lose, squamose or rimose-squamose in the center, pallid when 

 young, becoming tinged with ochraceous-buff when mature, flesh 

 white, taste like that of radishes ; lamellae thin, close, adnate,

whitish becoming brown ; stem short, solid, subequal, Avhite and 

 :sprinkled with mealy particles above the annulus, colored like the 

 pileus and squamose below, annulus small, lacerated, white and 

 sometimes evanescent; spores elliptic, 7-8 /i long, 4-5/^ broad. 

 Pileus 5-8 cm. broad; stems 2-3 cm. long, 8-12 mm. thick. 



Sandy grassy soil about stumps. Washington, D. C. Octo- 

 Iber. F. F. Schrader. 



Psathyra multipedata 



Pileus submembranaceous, conic or hemispheric, glabrous, 

 hygrophanous, light-bay or tawny when moist, cinereous when 

 the moisture has escaped, the center retaining its moisture longer 

 than the margin ; lamellae thin, close, adnate, pallid or gray becom- 

 ing brown, whitish on the edge ; stem slender, equal, hollow, 

 brittle, furfuraceous, becoming smooth or sometimes remaining 

 fibrillose near the base, pure white ; spores brown, elliptic, 6-8 // 

 Jong, 4-5 ft broad. 



Pileus 12-16 mm. broad; stem 5-10 cm. long, 2 mm. thick. 



Densely cespitose, forming tufts of many individuals. Grassy 

 ground. St. Louis, Mo. September and October. N. M. 

 Glatfelter. 



This is related to P. bifrons and P. semivestita. From the 

 former it may be separated by the absence of red or pink tints from 

 the pileus and from the latter by its smaller size and smaller spores.
