CORTINARIUS CHRULESCENS Fy, 
Ground in woods and groves. Brewerton. Sept.

and may have lost some of their original color. 
CorTINARIUS CRYSTALLINUS F’7. 
Mossy ground 1 in low woods. Sandlake. Oct. 
The specimens are much smaller than the dimensions given in the deserip- 
tion, and the habitat is different, but they agree very well with the figures of 
the species. 
CORTINARIUS (PHLEGMACIUM) AMARUS 1%. Sp.
