times retained in the dried specimens. By neglecting the spore 

 characters, squalid spore-stained specimens of this species were erro- 

 neously referred, in the S-ith Report, to C. mollis, a species not yet 

 found in our State, though it has been reported from North Carolina, 

 Ohio and Massachusetts. 



Crepidotus croceitinctus, n. sp. 



SafEron-tinted Agaric. 



Pileus eight to twelve lines broad, convex or nearly plane, sessile, 

 glabrous, sometimes with a white villosity at the base, moist, yelloto- 

 ish ; lamellie moderately broad, rounded behind, whitisli, becoming 

 dull saffron-yellow, then ferruginous ; spores ferruginous, subglobose 

 or broadly elliptical, .0003 to .00025 in. long. 



Decaying wood of poplar and beech. Adirondack mountains and 

 Day, Saratoga county. July. 



This species is separated from C\ dorsalis by its glabrous pileus and 

 its less globose spores, and from C. crocopliyllas by its larger size, yel- 

 low color and the absence of squamules from the pileus. Its spores 

 are of a brighter ferruginous color than in most of our other species. 



Crepidotus piitrigena, B. & C. 



Eotten-wood Agaric. 



Pileus thin, convex, subreniform, often imbricated, sessile, sligJitlif 

 fomentose with a more dense white villosity at the base, moist, striatu- 

 late on the margin, whitish or yellowish-white; lamellas rather close, 

 broad, rounded behind, whitish, becoming ferruginous ; spores globose, 

 .00025 to .0003 in. broad. 



Decaying wood. Brewerton. September. 



This species is perhaps too closely allied to C. malachius, from 

 which it scarcely differs, except in the villose-tomentose pileus. The 

 lamella are three or four times broader than the thickness of the 

 flesh of the pileus. 



Crepidotus herbarum, Ph. 



Herb-inhabiting Agaric. 



Pileus thin, two to five lines broad, resupinate, suborbicular, 

 clothed with a white, downy villosity, incurved on the margin when 

 young, sometimes becoming reflexed, sessile, dimidiate and less 

 downy ; lamellas rather narrow, subdistant, radiating from a naked 

 lateral or eccentric point, white, tlieii subferruginous ; spores ellipti- 

 cal, .00025 to .0003 in. long, .00014 to .00016 broad. 



Dead stems of herbs and dead bark of maple. North G-reenbush 

 and Adirondack mountains. August and September. 



Crepidotus versutus, Pk. 



Evasive Agaric. 

 Pileus four to ten lines broad, at first resupinate, then reflexed, 

 reniform or dimidiate, sessile, white, clothed with a soft, downy or 

 tomentose-villosity, incurved on the margin ; lamella3 rather broad.
