REPORT OF THE STATE LOTANIST I9II 69 



thin, narrow, close, some of them forked, decurrent, white ; stem 

 equal, glabrous, generally curved or flexuous, stuffed, colored like 

 the pileus, with a white villosity at the base ; spores minute, globose 

 or subglobose, 3-4 /x broad or 4 x 3 /x. 



Pileus 3-5 cm broad ; stem 3-5 cm long, 2-4 mm thick. 



Gregarious or cespitose. Prostrate trunks of trees. Adirondack 

 mountains. August. Not common. 



The width of the lamellae is about equal to the thickness of the 

 flesh of the pileus. They gradually taper toward each end. The 

 stem is occasionally eccentric. 



Clitocybe albissima Pk. 



VERY WHITE CLITOCYBE 

 N. Y. State Mus. Rep't 26, p.53 



Pileus fleshy, convex or nearly plane, dry, soft, even, pure white, 

 inodorous; lamellae moderately close, some of them forked at the 

 base, adnate or slightly decurrent, white ; stem equal, glabrous, solid, 

 white ; spores ellipsoid, 8 x 5 /x. 



Pileus 5-7 cm broad ; stem 3-6 cm long, 4-6 mm thick. 



Gregarious or sometimes growing in arcs of circles. Woods. 

 Common. August and September. 



The pure white color and soft texture are retained by the dried 

 specimens. Closely related to Clitocybe cerussata Fr. but 

 never moist nor are the lamellae very crowded as in that species. 

 It is an attractive, neat-looking species. Clitocybe s u b s i m - 

 i 1 i s Pk. is specifically the same differing only in the more conic 

 or turbinate shape of the pileus. 



Clitocybe fuscipes Pk. 



BROWN STEM CLITOCYBE 

 N. Y. State Mus. Rep't 44, p. 17 



Pileus thin, broadly convex or plane, umbilicate, glabrous, whitish 

 and striatulate when moist, pure white when dry, odor and taste 

 farinaceous ; lamellae nearly plane, subdistant, adnate or slightly 

 decurrent, white; stem equal, hollow, glabrous or slightly mealy at 

 the top, brown when moist, paler when dry; spores globose, 5-6 fi 

 broad. 



Pileus 8-16 mm broad ; stem about 2.5 cm long, about 2 mm thick. 



Under pine trees. Cattaraugus co. September. Rare. Found 

 but once.
