slightly thickened at the base, white, sometimes pruinose ; spores 

 globose, 4 /i in diameter.

Cespitose. Prostrate trunks of trees in woods. Lewis co. Sep-

N. Y. State Mus. Rep't 46, p.23 

 Pileus convex or nearly plane, glabrous, whitish and slightly 

 striatulate on the margin when moist, white when dry, the thin 

 margin commonly and irregularly revolute ; lamellae thin, narrow, 

 close, adnate or slightly decurrent ; stem glabrous, solid when young, 

 stuffed or somewhat hollow when old, whitish ; spores subglobose, 



4-5 /^ long- 



Pileus 2.5-7 cm broad ; stem 5-7 cm long, 6-10 mm thick. 



Densely cespitose. Woods. Albany co. September. Rare. 

 Found but once. 



The pileus is often irregular from its densely tufted mode of

 regular with the margin spreading but not revolute. 



Clitocybe multiformis Pk.

 N. Y. State Mus. Mem. 4, p. 141, pl.47, fig.1-9 



Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, often lobed or irregular, 

 glabrous, whitish, grayish or yellowish when moist, paler when dry, 

 flesh white when dry ; lamellae thin, narrow, close, adnate or slightly 

 decurrent, white or whitish ; stem equal, solid, glabrous, white ; 

 spores ellipsoid, 5-6 x 3-4 jx.
