times retained in the dried specimens. By neglecting the spore 
characters, squalid spore-stained specimens of this species were erro- 
neously referred, in the 24th Report, to C. mollis, a species not yet 
found in our State, though it has been reported from North Carolina, 
Ohio and Massachusetts. 
Crepidotus croceitinctus, 2. sp. 
Saffron-tinted Agaric. 
Pileus eight to twelve lines broad, convex or nearly plane, sessile, 
glabrous, sometimes with a white villosity at the base, moist, yellow- 
ish ; lamelle moderately broad, rounded behind, whitish, becoming 
dull sajfron-yellow, then ferruginous ; spores ferruginous, sudglobose 
or broadly elliptical, .0002 to .00025 in. long. 
Decaying wood of poplar and beech. Adirondack mountains and 
Day, Saratoga county. July. 
This species is separated from C. dorsalis by its glabrous pileus and 
its less globose spores, and from C. crocophyllus by its larger size, yel- 
low color and the absence of squamules from the pileus. Its spores 
are of a brighter ferruginous color than in most of our other species. 
Crepidotus putrigena, B. & C. 
Rotten-wood Agaric. 
Pileus thin, convex, subreniform, often imbricated, sessile, slightly 
tomentose with a more dense white villosity at the base, moist, striatu- 
late on the margin, whitish or yellowish-white; lamellz rather close, 
broad, rounded behind, whitish, becoming ferruginous; spores globose, 
-00025 to .0003 in. broad. 
Decaying wood. Brewerton. September. 
This species is perhaps too closely allied to C. malachius, from 
which it scarcely differs, except in the villose-tomentose pileus. The 
lamelle are three or four times broader than the thickness of the 
flesh of the pileus. 
Crepidotus herbarum, Px. 
Herb-inhabiting Agaric. 
Pileus thin, two to five lines broad, resupinate, suborbicular, 
clothed with a white, downy villosity, incurved on the margin when 
young, sometimes becoming reflexed, sessile, dimidiate and less 
downy; lamelle rather narrow, subdistant, radiating from a naked 
lateral or eccentric point, white, then subferruginous ; spores ellipti- 
cal, .00025 to .0003 in. long, .00014 to .00016 broad. 
Dead stems of herbs and dead bark of maple. North Greenbush 
and Adirondack mountains. August and September. 
Crepidotus versutus, Pk. 
Evasive Agaric. 
Pileus four to ten lines broad, at first resupinate, then reflexed, 
reniform or dimidiate, sessile, white, clothed with a soft, downy or 
tomentose-villosity, incuryved on the margin; lamelle rather broad,
