64 Forty-first Annual Report on the 



Fallen leaves of pine. Catskill mountains. September. 



The species belongs to the Basidipes and is closely related to M. 

 saccharifera, from which it is separated because of its larger size, more 

 numerous closer adnate lamellae and pure white color. The glands 

 occur in every part of the plant and cause it to ajDi^ear as if slightly 

 sticky or viscid when pressed between the fingers. They are not 

 visible to the naked eye, but under a lens they appear like minute 

 globular shining particles. In the dried state the specimens assume 

 a slight yellowish tint. 



Entoloma sericeum, Bull 

 Sandy pastures. West Albany. June. 



Entoloma flavoviride, 71. sp. 



Pileus thin, at first broadly conical, then convex or subconcave by 

 the upcurving of the margin, dingy yellowish-green, slightly silky and 

 shining when dry; lamellae broad, subdistant, ventricose, free or 

 slightly adnexed, dingy or cinereous ; stem equal, hollow, fibrous- 

 striate, whitish; spores angular, uninucleate, .00045 to .0005 in. long, 

 . 0003 to . 0004 broad. 



Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad; stem 1 to 2.5 in. long, 1 to 2 lines thick. 



Low swampy woods. Karner. August. 



The color of the pileus is a peculiar dingy yellowish-green or olive- 

 green by which the species is easily recognized. 



Clitopilus erytlirosporus, n. sjj. 



Pileus thin, hemispherical or strongly convex, glabrous or merely 

 pruinose, grayish-incarnate, fiesh whitish with an incarnate tint, taste 

 farinaceous; lamelhe narrow, crowded, arcuate, strongly decurreut, 

 colored like the pileus; stem equal or slightly tapering upward, hol- 

 low, slightly pruinose at the top, colored like the pileus; spores ellip- 

 tical, rosy-red, .0002 in. long, .00012 to .00016 broad. 



Pileus 1 to 2 in. broad; stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, 2 to 3 lines thick. 



Decayed wood and among fallen leaves in woods. Catskill mouij- 

 tains and Menands. September and October. 



The species is easily recognized by its peculiar uniform color, its 

 narrow, crowded and very decurrent lamella and its bright rosy-red 



spores. 



Clitopilus conissans, n. sp. 



Pileus thin, convex, glabrous, pale idutaceous, often dusted by the 

 copious spores; lamellae close, adnate, reddish-brown; stem slender, 

 brittle, hollow, white; spores narrowly elliptical, bright rosy red, .0003 

 in. long, .00016 broad.
