Dermocybe simulans. 
Pileus fleshy, thin, convex, then expanded, at first grayish-viola- 
ceous and silky-fibrillose, then pale-cinereous, often tinged with yellow 
or brownish-yellow on the disk, flesh pale-violaceous or pale-cinereous ; 
lamelle rather broad, subventricose, rounded behind, moderately 
close, violaceous, becoming cinnamon-colored ; stem short, equal or 
slightly thickened at the base, silky-fibrillose, shining, stuffed or 
hollow, violaceous, becoming whitish or pallid; spores subglobose 
or broadly elliptical, .0003 to .00035 in. long, .00025 to .0003 in. 
broad. 
Plant 1 to 2 in. high, pileus 6 to 18 lines broad, stem about 2 
lines thick. 
Woods. Sandlake. July. 
The colors of this species are so similar to those of Jnoloma albo- 
violacea that the plant might at first sight be mistaken for a small 
form of that species, but its small size, thin pileus and short, hollow 
stem afford distinguishing characters. 
Telamonia gracilis. 
Pileus thin, convex or campanulate, then expanded, umbonate, 
floccose-fibrillose, hygrophanous, watery-brown or sordid-chestnut 
when moist, whitened on the margin with grayish fibrils, subochra- 
ceous or tawny-cinnamon when dry; lamelle thin, subdistant, be- 
coming subventricose, ferruginous-brown, becoming cinnamon-colored ; 
stem long, slender, flexuous, fibrillose and slightly floccose-sealy, with 
a slight whitish evanescent annulus, colored like the pileus ; spores 
elliptical, uninucleate, .0004 to .00045 in. long, .00025 to .0003 in. 
broad. 
Plant 2 to 4 in. high, pileus 6 to 12 lines broad, stem 1 to 2 lines 
thick. 
Among moss and sphagnum in marshes. Sandlake. August. 
The umbo is small and sometimes acute, rarely obsolete. The dry 
pileus varies much in color, it being tawny, cinnamon, subochraceous 
or grayish-cervine. The young lamelle also vary from ferruginous- 
brown to reddish-umber and sometimes have a slight violaceous tint. 
The species is apparently related to Telamonia flexipes and T. régida, 
but the first is described as having the stem violaceous at the apex, 
and the second as having the pileus glabrous, both of which charae- 
ters ave wanting in our plant. 
Variety brevipes has the stem but 1 or 2 inches long. It occurs 
on decaying wood.
