218 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 
somewhat lateral and growing into one another; pilei imbricated, 
fibrous, usually with the fibers matted and agglutinated into 
appressed and wholly adnate squamules, margin dilated and 
whitish-fimbriate at first, at length becoming entire and colored 
like the rest of the pileus; hymenium inferior, concolorous with 
the upper surface, papillose; spores concolorous with hyme- 
nium, snuff-brown under the microscope, angular-tuberculate, 
7-9 x 6-84. 
Clusters often 5-8 cm. іп diameter; individual pileus 2-3 em. 
long, 2-4 cm. broad, 1 mm. thick. 
On the ground in pine woods, growing up from the layer of 
fallen leaves. Ontario to North Carolina and westward to 
Ohio and Michigan. August to October. 
The clusters are sometimes central but more often with the 
pilei lateral and triangular; sometimes the mass ascends small 
sticks and then extends out from this support in reflexed forms; 
the upper surface is usually uneven and dries somewhat depressed 
between the adnate squamules. This species is distinguished 
from ferruginous specimens of T. terrestris by the thicker and 
entire margin of the pileus and by the absence of free squamules.
