REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. 65 
lar; lamelle broad, subdistant, narrowed toward the stem, slightly 
emarginate and attached, more or less denticulate on the edge, 
usually terminating a little before the margin ; stem equal, hollow, 
fibrous, often twisted ; spores subglobose, irregular, 3;'5>' In diame- 
ter. 
Plant pale yellow throughout, 3-5’ high, pileus 9’-12” broad, 
stem 1°—1.5" thick. 
Swamps and sphagnous marshes. Sandlake. August. (Plate 
2, figs. 14-18.) 
Appar ently closely allied to A. Mu urrai, but the pileus is not 
striate, and is distinguished by a remarkable cusp. The spores 
are a little lar ger than in A. Murraii. 
Agaricus (ENTOLOMA) SALMONEUS 2. Sp. 
Pileus thin, conicai or campanulate, subacute, rarely with a 
minute papilla at the apex, smooth, of a peculiar soft ochraceous 
color, slightly tinged with salmon or flesh color ; lamellz and stem 
colored like the pileus. 
Low grounds, under spruce trees and in swamps. Sandlake. 
August. (Plate 4, figs. 6-9.) 
It is with some hesitation that this is proposed as a species, its 
resemblance to the preceding one is so close. The only difference 
is found in its color and in the absence of the prominent cusp of 
that plant. In both species the pileus is so thin, that in well dried 
specimens, slender, dark, radiating lines on it, mark the position 
of the lamella beneath, although in the living plants these are not 
visible. 
Agaricus (Ciiropitus) WoopIANnts 2. sp. 
Pileus fleshy, thin, convex or expanded, umbilicate or centrally 
depressed, hygrophanous, striatulate on the margin when moist, 
whitish or yellowish-white and shining when dry, the margin often 
wavy or flexuous; lamellz close, adnate-decurrent, whitish, then 
flesh colored ; stem equal, flexuous, shining, colored like the pileus, 
solid or hollow from the erosion of insects; spores subglobose, 
irregular, 3,5, long. 
Plant 3’ high, pileus 1—2’ broad, stem 2” thick. 
Ground and old logs in woods. Greig. September. 
It resembles A. Grayanus i in color, but is easily distinguished 
from it by the more slender habit and the character of the lamelle. 
Dedicated to Prof. A. Wood, in view of his exalted position as a 
botanist, and of the many acts of kindness the writer has received 
from him.
