REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 137 
toward the outer extremity, pale flesh-colored ; stem short, equal, solid, 
glabrous, straight or curved, whitish ; spores swbglobose, angular, .oo025 
in. broad, usually containing a single central nucleus. 
Plant about 1 inch high, pileus 6 to 12 lines broad, stem .5 to 1 line 
thick. 
Decaying trunks and sticks in woods. Portville. September. 
This rare species has been found but once. It is much smaller and 
more delicate than the preceding, and easily distinguished by its thin 
margin projecting beyond the lamelle and by .the character of the 
spores. The pileus sometimes cracks in areas, and then it has the ap- 
pearance of being coated with a thin, scaly paste. 
Pluteus longistriatus, Peck. 
Striated Pluteus. 
Pileus thin, convex or expanded, dry, striate to the disk, cinereous 
or whitish, the disk often darker than the margin and minutely squamu- 
lose or hairy; lamelle broad, ventricose, white, then flesh-colored ; 
stem equal, glabrous, white ; spores globose, .0003 in. broad. 
Plant about 2 inches high, pileus 1 to 1.5 broad, stem about 1 line 
thick. 
Decaying wood. Albany. July. 
This species is well marked by the long striations of the pileus. It 
was discovered in one of the streets of Albany in 1876, but has not been 
observed since that time. The spores at first sight appear globose, but 
there is a depression on one side that gives them an orbicular or saucer 
shape. 
Pluteus leoninus, Scheff. 
Lion-colored Agaric. Yellow Pluteus. 
Pileus thin, campanulate, then convex or expanded, even, glabrous, 
moist or subhygrophanous, striate on the margin, yellow or reddish- 
yellow ; lamellz rather broad, rounded behind, yellowish or yellowish 
on the edge, then flesh-colored ; stem equal, sold, slightly striate, white 
or yellowish , spores broadly elliptical, .o0028 to .o0032 in. long, .o0025 
broad. 
Plant about 2 inches high, pileus 1 to 2 inches broad, stem 2 to 3 
lines thick. 
Decaying wood in forests. Adirondack mountains. August 
This is a very rare species in our State. Its glabrous pileus and yel- 
lowish color distinguish it from all the foregoing species, its even pileus 
and solid stem, from the next following species. 
Pluteus admirabilis, Peck. 
Admirable Pluteus. 
‘ Pileus thin, convex or expanded, generally broadly umbonate, gla- 
brous, rugose-reticulated, moist or hygrophanous, striatulate on the 
margin when moist, often obscurely striate when dry, yellow or brown ; 
lamelle close, broad, rounded behind, ventricose, whitish or yellowish, 
then flesh-colored ; stem slender, glabrous, hollow, equal or slightly
