FRAGILE HEBELOMA 

 A g. (Hebeloma) f r a g i li o r Pk. N. Y. State Mus. Rep't 27, p.95 



Pileus thin, fragile, convex becoming plane or centrally depressed, 

 sometimes irregular or wavy on the margin, minutely squamulose 

 when young, soon glabrous, pale grayish ochraceous ; lamellae sub- 

 distant, ventricose, adnexed, whitish and crenulate on the edge, 

 subochraceous ; stem slender, equal, hollow, minutely furfuraccous 

 becoming glabrous, colored like the pileus; spores ellipsoid, 6x4 v-. 



Pileus 6-12 mm broad; stem about 2.5 cm long, 1-2 mm thick. 



Damp decaying leaves in wet places in swamps. Hamilton co. 

 July. Rare. 



This is a very small species and in habitat is unlike any other 

 of our species. Sometimes the stem is expanded at the base in a 

 thin disk closely applied to the matrix. It needs further investiga- 

 tion and may possibly be found to be a species of Naucoria.
