Annual Report of the State Botanist. 23 



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

 Mossy ground in wooded swamps. North Elba. Sept. 



Hygrophorus Queletii, Bres. 



Groves of larch, balsam and spruce. North Elba. Sept. 



This species was very abundant in the locality mentioned. It is 

 commonly gregarious and sometimes csespitose. The viscid pellicle 

 is sei^arable, by which character it is clearly distinct from the allied 

 H.pudorinus. When caespitose the stem and pileus are often irregular. 

 It is a fine species, nearly white, but with the pileus most delicately 

 tinted with pale flesh color. 



Hygrophorus capreolarius, Kalchh. 



Mossy ground in woods. North Elba. Sept. 



Although this fungus was regarded by Kalchbrenner as a variety 

 of H. erubescens, it appears to me to be a good and distinct species. 

 Many specimens were found in the woods of North Elba but they 

 were constant in their characters. The colors are darker than in 

 H. erubescens, and the stem, in the American plant at least, is destitute 

 of red dots or points at the top. No specimens of the true H. erube- 

 scens were found, although in Hungary the two plants grow in the 



same places. 



Hygrophorus hypothejus, Fr. 



Woods. North Elba. Sept. 



Hygrophorus fuscoalbus, Fr. 

 Groves of spruce and balsam. North Elba. Sept. Our specimens 

 are smaller than the European plant, but in other respects they 

 appear to be the same. 



Lactarius atroviridis, n. sp. 



Pileus fleshy, firm, centrally depressed, scabrous-hairy, sometimes 

 rimose-areolate, dark-green, flesh whitish, milk white, taste acrid; 

 lamellse rather close, adnate or decurrent, whitish, sometimes spotted, 

 or green on the edge; stem equal, short, hollow, colored like, but 

 often paler than the pileus, spotted; spores yellowish- white, 

 subglobose, rough, .0003 in. in diameter. 



Pileus 2.5 to 4 in. broad; stem 1 to 2 in. long, 6 to 10 lines thick. 



Borders of woods. Sandlake. Aug. 



The color of the pileus is a dark olive green, by which and by its 

 dryness the species may be distinguished from L. sordidus. The same 

 species occurs in North Carolina, where it was collected by Rev. C. J. 

 Curtis.
