THE WHITE-SPORED AGARICS 135 



Omphalia alboflava. Moy. 

 The Golden-Gieled Omphalia. 



Alboflava is from two Greek words meaning whitish-yellow, from the yellow 

 gills. 



The pileus is one to two inches broad, thin, somewhat membranaceous, ura- 

 bilicate, flaccid, covered with fine woolly material, yellow-brown, lighter when 

 dry, margin reflexed. 



The gills are distant, deep golden-yellow, occasionally forked. 



Figure ioo. Omphalia alboflavia. Cap yellowish-brown, sometimes a greenish tinge. Gills 



golden yellow. 



The stem is hollow, equal, smooth, shining, egg-yellow. 



The spores are elliptical, 8x4^. 



This plant is found quite frequently on decayed branches and logs about 

 Chillicothe. I have never had the opportunity to test its edibility but I have no 

 doubt of its being good. 



The plants in Figure 100 were found in Haynes' Hollow and were photo- 

 graphed by Dr. Kellerman. Found from July to October.
