REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. he 
25. AGARICUS ILLUDENS Schw. 
Pileus fleshy, convex or expanded, smooth, generally with 
a small umbo; ‘lamelle not crowded, unequally decurrent, 
some of them branched, narrowed toward each end, the edge, 
in dry specimens, discolored ; stem firm, solid, long, smooth, 
tapering at the base. 
Height 5-8’, breadth of pileus 4’-6’, stipe 6’-8” thick. 
Generally growing on rotten wood. Common. 
The plant is of a bright saffron yellow color, and grows in 
dense clusters or tufts, so that the pileus is often irregular or 
excentric from its crowded mode of growth. The cuticle 
sometimes cracks in areas, and the color, when old, becomes 
brownish. ‘The large bright-colored tufts form a conspicuous 
object, and catch the eye at a considerable distance. 
27. AGARICUS ADIRONDACKENSIS 72. Sp. 
Pileus thin, submembranaceous, funnel form, with the 
margin decurved, nearly smooth, hygrophanous, white, the 
disk often darker; lamelle white, very narrow, scarcely 
broader than the thickness of the flesh of the pileus, crowded, 
long decurrent, subarcuate, some of them forked ; stipe slen- 
der, subequal, not hollow, whitish, mycelio-thickened at the 
base. 
Height 1’-3’, breadth of pileus 1-2’, diameter of stipe 1’-2”. 
Among leaves in woods. August. 
I have seen this pretty species in the Adirondack region 
only. The lamelle are sometimes tinged with yellow. The 
margin of the pileus is occasionally wavy. 
28. AGARICUS POCULUM 2. sp. 
Closely related to the preceding, being of the same size and 
shape, but differing in being of a grayish-brown color, having 
the lamellee less crowded, twice as broad, and darker colored. 
Woods. North Elba and West Albany. August—October. 
29. AGARICUS LACCATUS Scop. 
Pileus thin, fleshy, convex, sometimes expanded, even or 
slightly umbilicate, smooth or minutely tomentose-scaly, hy- 
grophanous, when moist, dull reddish-yellow or reddish-flesh- 
colored, sometimes striatulate; when dry, pallid or pale dull 
ochraceous ; lamellee broad, rather thick and distant, attached, 
not decurrent, flesh-colored ; stipe slender, firm, fibrous, stuffed, 
equal, concolorous. 
Height 1-6’, breadth of pileus 6-2’. Common.
