222 ANNALS OF THE MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN 
On sandy ground in pine woods. New Jersey to Louisiana. 
August to November. 
This species is closely related to 7. terrestris and has the same 
habitat, habit of growth, and spore characters, but is distin- 
guished from that species by its zonate pileus. Тһе fructifica- 
tions usually occur in flattened clusters with spreading pileoli; 
sometimes the individual pileoli acquire an infundibuliform 
appearance by the growing together for part of their length of 
opposite edges of individual pileoli; sometimes a small оһсопіс 
pileus occurs composed of two or more pileoli with adjacent 
edges confluent. In the collection cited below from Mississippi, 
small lobes are present in the cavity of the cup, as in T. vialis 
and T. caryophyllea.
