This is a form in which the cluster of spikes is subtended by a 
bract equaling or slightly exceeding it in length. 
Lepiota amianthina, Scop. 
Specimens sometimes approach L. granulosa in the structure of the 
lamelleze which are somewhat emarginate and adnexed, but in all other 
respects they are true L. amianthina.

‘fricholoma fumidellum, PL. 
In the Catskill mountains a form of this species occurs which has 
the pileus umbonate and the umbo decidedly brown or smoky brown. 
Sometimes the cuticle is rimose areolate and then the plant imitates 
Lepiota cristata in general appearance. It is moist in wet weather and 
belongs to the tribe Spongiosa. 
Tricholoma fumosoluteum, Pk. 
\ 
Abundant among moss under balsam trees near the summit of 
Wittenberg mountain. The pileus is sometimes spotted thus indica- 
ting a relationship with the tribe Guttata, though its real affinities 
are with the Spongiosa. The taste is farinaceous and slightly bitter. 
The flesh is tinged with yellow under the subseparable epidermis. 
Tricholoma Peckii, Howe. 
This rare species occurs in the Catskill mountains. 
Both the pileus and stem are adorned with beautiful tawny or

tawuy-red scales. The lamelle when old become stained or spotted — 
with brown or are discolored or dotted on the edge. The white flesh 
of the pileus has a farinaceous taste, then bitterish. The odor is also 
somewhat farinaceous. The pileus is viscid when moist, and the 
species is allied to 7. transmutans and T. albobrunneum.
