Agaricus alnicola, /’7. 
At the base of alders and on birchstumps. Delmar. Sept. 
The American specimens have the bitter taste ascribed to the 
European plant. Theform found on birch stumps has the lamellee 
rounded behind, while that found at the base of alders has them 
adnate. The young plant has a noticeable annulus but it nearly or 
quite disappears with age. 
Agaricus (Naucoria) elatior, 7. sp. 
Pileus thin, at first conical or subcampanulate, then convex or 
nearly plane, glabrous, slightly viscid and striatulate on the margin 
when moist, livid or grayish-brown; lamellze broad, ventricose, dis- 
tant, whitish or livid, then dark-ferruginous, white on the edge; 
stem elongated, slender, hollow, flexuous, slightly fibrillose, pallid ; 
spores brownish-ferruginous, oblong-elliptical, .0007 to .0008 in. 
long, .0003 to .0004 broad. 
Pileus 5 to 10 lines broad, stem 3 to 5 in. long, about I line 
thick. 
In sphagnum. Karner. Sept. Related to A. scorpioides. 
Cortinarius arenatus, 7. 
Sandy soil under pine trees. Delmar. Sept. 
A form with longer stem and subconical pileus sometimes occurs 
in marshes among sphagnum. 
Hygrophorus pudorinus, 7. 
Pine woods. Delmar. Sept. 
Our plant does not strictly agree with the description of the species 
to which we have referredit. The color of the pileus is darker in the 
eenter, where it is a brownish-red, but it fades toward the margin, 
where itis nearly white. The stem is not conspicuously contracted 
_at the apex, but in other respects it agrees so well with the descrip 
tion of A. pudorinus that it seems to us to belong to that species. 
Russula crustosa, 7. sp. 
Pilens at first convex, then nearly plane or centrally depressed, 
slightly viscid when moist, striate on the margin, brownish-yellow, 
greenish or subolivaceous, the cuticle cracking and forming small 
spot-like areolee or pseudo-verruce ; Jamellee nearly entire, some of 
them forked at the base, narrowed behind and nearly free, white ; 
stem cylindrical, stuffed or hollow, white; spores white, subglobose, 
.0003 to .00035 in. broad; flesh white, taste mild. 
Pileus3to5 in. broad, stem 1 to 2.5 in. long, 6 to 12 lines thick. 
Rocky ground in thin woods. Day. July and Aug.
