AGARICUS (HEBELOMA) INFIDUS 2. Sp. 
Pileus firm, campanulate or expanded, subumbonate, 
slightly squamulose on the disk, often split on the margin, 
whitish, lamelle close, pallid becoming cinnamon-brown ; 
stem equal or slightly bulbous-thickened at the base, min- 
utely furfuraceous, hollow, colored like the pileus; spores 
globose, rough with little nodules, .0003’ in diameter. 
Plant about 2’ high, pileus 6”-12” broad, stem 1/’-2” 
thick. 
P HoRey ground in swampy woods. Adirondack Mts.

This species bears some resemblance to A. geophyllus, 
but the slightly squamulose pileus and the rough spores 
readily separate it. The margin of the pileus is sometimes 
deeply split, the radiating lobes giving a stellate appear- 
ance to the pileus. 
AGARICUS (HEBELOMA) FUSCODISCUS 7. sp. 
Pileus at first subviscid, conical, covered with blackish- 
brown fibrils, then campanulate or expanded, umbonate, 
whitish, the disk remaining blackish-brown ; lamelle close, 
whitish then brownish, minutely rough on the edge; stem 
equal, solid, whitish and pruinose at the top, elsewhere 
brownish, fibrillose ; spores .00035’ long, .00018’ broad. 
Plant 1’-3’ high, pileus 6-12” broad, stem 1’’-2” thick. 
In an old pasture under trees. Forestburgh. Sept. 
(Plate 1, figs. 3-6.) 
The somewhat viscid pellicle is separable. The odor 
resembles that of chestnut blossoms. 
AGARICUS (HEBELOMA) FRAGILIOR 2. Sp. 
Small, fragile, pale grayish ochre; pileus thin, convex, 
then expanded or centrally depressed, sometimes irregular 
or wavy on the margin, at first minutely squamulose 
lamellze close, when young a little paler than the pileus, 
minutely eroded on the edge; stem slender, squamulose, 
hollow, often expanded at the base into a thin disk. 
Plant about 1’ high, pileus 3’-6” broad, stem scarcely 
1” thick. 
Damp, decaying leaves in water holesof swamps. Indian 
Lake. July. 
The minute scales of the pileus easily rub off and they 
disappear with age. They sometimes pr oject from the mar- 
gin in a fimbr jate manner.
