72 T'WENTY-THIRD REPORT ON THE StaTE UABIN4T. 
11. AGARICUS CLYPEOLARIUS Bull. 
Pileus subcampanulate or convex, umbonate, at first uni- 
formly brownish-coated, then whitish, thickly set with small 
brownish scales, the margin sometimes obscurely striate ; 
lamelle white, free; stipe slender, hollow, floccose-scaly 
below the slight evanescent annulus. 
Height 2’-3’, breadth of pileus .5’-1.5’. 
In woods. North Elba. August. 
Some specimens are much darker colored than others. 
The cuticle does not break up on the disk, which in conse- 
quence remains brown. The plant has a pleasant odor, even 
after it has been kept a long time in the herbarium. 
*12. AGARICUS CRISTATUS FT. 
Pileus convex, at first reddish-brown then, from the breaking 
up of the cuticle, whitish, spotted with reddish-brown scales, 
which are larger and closer toward the disk where the cuticle 
is unbroken ; lamelle white, free ; stipe slender, smooth, hol- 
low, slightly bulbous, annulate; annulus at length disap- 
pearing. 
Height about 2’, breadth of pileus 1’-1.5’. 
Ground along the borders of woods. Guilderland. July. 
This plant has a strong odor, by which, with its smooth 
stipe, it is best distinguished from the preceding one. 
13. AGARICUS NAUCINUS f7. 
Pileus at first subglobose, then convex, fleshy, soft, even, 
smooth, white; lamelle close, narrower toward the inner 
extremity, white, then dirty flesh-colored, free; stipe white, 
smooth, equal, stuffed, bulbous, annulate, with a rather large 
white ring. 
Height 2’-3’, breadth of pileus 1’-3’. 
Grassy places in pastures. Knowersville. September and 
October. 
I have seen no specimens with the cuticle broken up into 
granules. Without observing the color of the spores, this 
plant might be taken for a species of Psalliota, especially 
since the lamelle assume a brownish hue in drying. 
14. AGARICUS GRANULOSUS Batsch. 
Pileus thin, convex or subcampanulate, often umbonate, 
sometimes corrugated (radiately wrinkled), granulose; la- 
mellee white, reaching the stem, sometimes attached to it, 
sometimes free; stipe slender, stuffed or hollow, floccose- 
squamulose below the evanescent ring. 
Height 1.5’-3’, breadth of pileus about 1’.
