Report of the State Botanist. 19 



Woods. Lake Pleasant, Hamilton county. August. 



The color of the pileus is almost exactly like that of 

 dark-colored forms of Z. serrulata, but its smaller size, whitish 

 lamellae without darker serrated edge and stem not punctate at 

 the top separate it. 



Leptonia grisea n. sp. 



Pileus broadly convex or plane, umbilicate, striatulate when 

 moist, glabrous except the squamulose umbilicus, grayish brown; 

 lamellae broad, subdistant, grayish ; stem slender, hollow, glab- 

 rous, colored like the pileus ; spores subglobose, angular, uninu- 

 cleate, .0003 to .0004 inches in diameter. 



Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad ; stem 1.5 to 2.5 inches long, 1 line 

 thick. 



Among sphagnum and in wet woods. Lake Pleasant. August. 



The species is easily known by its nearly uniform grayish color 

 and its globose spores.' 



Galera flava n. sp. 



Pileus thin, ovate or campanulate, obtuse, finely plicate-striate 

 to the middle, yellow ; lamellae thin, narrow, close, adnate, at 

 first whitish, then yellowish-cinnamon ; stem equal or slightly 

 tapering upward, hollow, sprinkled with white mealy particles, 

 slightly striate at the top, white or slightly tinged with yellow ; 

 spores brownish-ferruginous, ovate or subelliptical, .0005 inches 

 long ; .0003 broad. 



Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad ; stem 2 to 3 inches long, 1 to 2 lines 

 thick. 



Damp vegetable mold in woods. Freeville, Tompkins county. 

 July. 



The pileus is moist or subhygrophanous, and when dry it 

 appears to be sprinkled with shining atoms. The yellow epi- 

 dermis sometimes breaks up into squamules. 



Agaricus hsemorrhoidarius Schulzer. 



Ground under hemlocks. Menands. August. 



This species is easily known, when fresh, by wounds upon any 

 part of it quickly changing to red, as if about to bleed. The habi- 

 tat usually ascribed to it is " About the roots of oaks," but our 

 specimens were found growing under a hemlock tree. Gillet 

 gives Fries tis the author of the species, Fries ascribes it to 

 Kalchbrenner and Kalchbrenner to Schulzer.
