REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 163 
Plant scarcely 1’ high; pileus 2’—4”" broad ; stem about-5” thick. 
Ground under brakes, Pteris aguilina. Lake Pleasant. August. 
This very small Agaric is related by its granular pileus to A. granu- 
losws, but its small size and different color at once distinguish it. It 
is apparently very rare, having been found but once. 
AGARICUS CRISTATELLUS, Pk. 
Little crested Agaric. 
Pileus thin, convex, subumbonate, minutely mealy, especially on the 
margin, white, the disk slightly tinged with pink; tamelle close, 
rounded behind, free, white; stem slender, whitish, hollow; spores 
subelliptical, -0002' long. 
Plant the same size as the last. 
Mossy places in woods. Copake. October. 
This is distinguished from the last species by its white mealy pileus, 
narrower lamellz and smooth stem. The margin is sometimes ap- 
pendiculate with the minute fragments of the veil. The annulus is 
obsolete. ‘The white pileus and pinkish tinge of the disk suggest a 
resemblance in color to A. cristatus. The species has been detected 
but once. 
CUTICLE OF THE PILEUS VISCID. 
AGARICUS ILLINITUS, Fr. 
White-smeared Agaric. 
Pileus rather thin, soft, at first ovate, then campanulate or expanded, 
subumbonate, smooth, white, very viscid or glutinous, even or striate 
on the margin; lamellx close, free, white; stem equal: or slightly 
tapering upward, stuffed or hollow, viscid, white ; spores broadly el- 
liptical, -0002’ long, -00016’ broad. 
Plant 2’—4’ high ; pileus 1’—2-5’ broad ; stem 2’—3’ thick. 
Thin or open woods. Adirondack mountains. July to September. 
This is a smooth white species with the stem and pilens clothed with 
a clear viscid or glutinous veil. The margin of the pileus is often 
even, but the typical form of the species has it striate. The flesh is 
soft and white. The species may be distinguished from the viscid 
white species of Hygrophorus by the free, not adnate nor decurrent, 
lamelle. F 
AGARICUS OBLITUS, Pk. 
Smeared Agaric. 
Pileus fleshy, convex or expanded, subumbonate, smooth or obscurely 
spotted or scaly from the breaking up of the veil, viscid, alwtaceous in-
