Stereum burtianum n. sp. 



PLATE 0^ FIG. 30-34 



Pileus thin, submembranaceous, coriaceous, fibrous, subinfundi- 

 buliform, sometimes dimidiate, slightly uneven with radiating 

 fibrous ridges, pallid with a slight cervine or rufescent tint, some- 

 what shining, the thin margin erect, spreading or decurved, 

 slightly wavy or uneven on the edge and often incised or laciniate ; 

 hymenium even or slightly radiately uneven, decurrent, from pale 

 buflf to ochraceous buff; stem short, tough, solid, minutely tomen- 

 tose or pruinose tomentose, subcinereous ; spores minute, hyaline, 

 even, globose or subglobose, .00012-.00016 of an inch broad. 



Pileus 4-8 lines broad; stem 2-3 lines long, about half a line 

 thick. Bare ground in bushy places. Shokan, Ulster co. Sep- 

 tember. 



Sometimes the pilei of two or more plants growing close 

 together are confluent. When well developed the pileus has a 

 central stem, but sometimes one third or one half is wanting and 

 then the stem is lateral though the pileus is usually erect. In 

 such cases the pileus often appears as if perforate and the upper 

 part of the stem as if hollow. This very distinct species is dedi- 

 cated to Prof. E. A. Burt who has made a special study of the 

 group of fungi to which it belongs and to whom I am under obliga- 

 tions for aid in the identification of some of the species. 



Tricholoma subluteum n. sp. 



PLATE 0^ FIG. 26-29 



Pileus broadly campanulate becoming convex, umbonate, 

 obscurely fibrillose, yellow, flesh white; lamellae close, emargin- 

 ate, adnexed, white; stem equal or slightly tapering upward, 

 solid, fibrillose, yellow, whitish at the pointed base, white within ; 

 spores globose, .0002-.00024 of an inch broad. 



Pileus 2-4 inches broad; stem 3-4 inches long, 4-8 lines thick. 

 Under coniferous trees. Lake Pleasant. August. 



This is a beautiful but apparently a very rare species. It 

 belongs to the second group of section Sericella. It is related to 

 T. c h r y s e n t e r u m and T. chrysenteroides, but 

 may be distinguished from them by its white flesh and lamellae.
