Upon leaves, twigs etc., in woods. Rare in New York but com- 
mon in Ohio and Michigan. Marasmius nigripes is 
readily distinguished from all other species of Marasmius by its 
irregularly angular spores. 
27 Marasmius papillatus Peck 
Ann. Rep’t N. Y. State Mus., 24:76. 1872. 
Pileus submembranous, convex to expanded, papillate, gregarious, 
I—2 cm broad; surface obscurely striate, sordid white or gray, some- 
times with a pink tint; margin fluted in dry plants; lamellae adnate 
with slightly decurrent tooth, some decidedly decurrent, crowded, 
narrow, white or yellowish; spores 8-9 by 3.5 yp; stipe slender, 
deeply radicating, firm, hollow, concolorous, white-pruinose, 2.5—5 
em long, I-2 mm thick. 
Upon mossy logs in woods. Common in the Adirondack moun- 
tains. 
28 Marasmius perforans (Hoffm.) Fries 
Epicr. Myc. 385. 1838. 
Pileus submembranous, plane, not umbilicate, 8-12 mm broad; 
surface rugulose, glabrous, pallid white, margin not striate; con- 
text with a stinking odor, not of onions; lamellae adnate, many 
dimidiate, simple, crowded, whitish; spores 6-8 by 2-4 yp; stipe 
equal, hollow, brownish black, velvety, 2-3 cm long. 
Upon dead leaves of fir; occasionally upon leaves of other kinds. 
Common. 
This plant has been distributed as Marasmius abietis 
(Batsch.) Fr. The plant which Batsch figures and describes as M. 
agaricus abietus seems to be another species, possibly M. 
alliatus (Schaeff.) Schrét. 
29 Marasmius squamula (Batsch.) Pennington 
North American Flora, v.9, pt 4, p. 277. I915.

Ann. Rep’t N. Y. State Cab., 23:175. 1872 (As Marasmius sub- 
venosus Peck). 
Pileus membranous, plane, at length subumbilicate, 2-10 mm 
broad; surface plicate, rugose, milk-white, often becoming light 
brown in age, margin not striate; lamellae adnate, few, rather 
narrow, often veinlike, distant, venose-connected, white: spores
