38 Annual Report of the State Botanist. 



The foUowing- species and varieties are extra limital. Having 

 been sent to me for identification, and finding no description appli- 

 cable to them, I place them on record here. 



Tricholoma maculatescens n. sp. 



Pileus compact, spongy, reddish-brown, convex then explanate, 

 obtuse, even, slightlj^ viscid when wet, becoming rivulose and 

 brown-spotted in drying, flesh whitish, margin inflexed, exceeding 

 the lamellae ; lamellte sHghtly emarginate, rather narrow, cinereous; 

 stem spongy -fleshy, equal, sometimes abruptly narrowed at the base, 

 solid, stout, fibrillose, pallid or whitish ; spores oblong or subfusi- 

 form, pointed at the ends, uninucleate, .0003 in. long, .00016 broad. 



Pileus 1.5 to 3 in. broad ; stem 2 to 3 in. long, 6 to 9 lines thick. 



Among fallen leaves in deciduous woods. Ohio. October and 

 November. A. P. Morgan. 



This appears to be related to T. transmutans and T. Jiavohrun- 

 neum, but may be distinguished from them by the spotting of the 

 pileus and the shape of the spores. 



Aijaricus campestris L. 



Var. griseus. Pileus pale-gray, silky, shining ; annulus evanescent. 



Winchester, Virginia. October. T. Taylor. 



This mushroom, though quite different in appearance from the 

 ordinary forms of A. campestris, is scarcely more than a variety. 

 Its spores are of the same size and character as in that species. It 

 is eaten freely by the inhabitants of Winchester. 



Armillaria mellea Vahl. 



Var. radicata. Stem penetrating the ground deeply with a 

 tapering, root-like prolongation. 



London, Canada. J. Dearness. 



The root-like prolongation of the stem is suggestive of that seen 

 in GollyUa radicata, but in all other respects the plant is A. mellea.

NEW YORK SPECIES OF TRICHOLOMA 



Tricholoma Fr. 



Hymenophorum continuous wdth the stem, the veil obsolete or 

 only floccose or fibrillose and adherent to the margin of the pileus; 

 lam elite sinuate behind, not equally attenuate, adnate or decuiTeut; 

 stem flesh}'', not corticated.
