Ochrosporae 



crustiliniformis ; the odor is the same except that it is stronger, but it Hebeioma. 

 differs conspicuously in the manifest veil and somewhat distant gills. 



Var. atba, stem longer, equal, somewhat hollow, fibrous-scaly at the 

 apex, gills distant. A. spiloleucus Krombh., A. sulcatus Lindgr. is 

 an elegant form with the margin of the pileus sulcate or rugoso-plicate. 



In mixed woods. Common. July to October. Stevenson. 



Spores iixS/x. W.G.S.; elliptical, pointed, lOxS/u, Morgan. 



Var. elegans. Pileus purple-brown. 



This sometimes appears on disused mushroom beds in large quantities, 

 but the method by which the spores gain access is involved in darkness. 



"A very suspicious species and has the reputation of being noxious." 

 Cooke. 



"There is considerable external resemblance between this and A. 

 campestris. No fungus is so often mistaken for A. campestris as this 

 dangerous plant. W. G. Smith. 



This species is considered noxious abroad. No test is reported of 

 its qualities here. 



I have not seen it. 



H. glutino'sum Lind. gluten, glue. (Plate LXXla, fig. I, p. 270.) 

 Pileus about 3 in. broad, yellow-white, the disk darker, fleshy, con- 

 vex then plane, regular, obtuse, with a tenacious viscous gluten, and 

 slimy in wet weather, sprinkled with white superficial scales. Flesh 

 whitish, becoming light-yellow. Stem 3 in. long, stuffed, firm, some- 

 wJiat bulbous, white-scaly and fibrillose, and white-mealy at the top, 

 often rough with bundles of hairs at the base, at length rust-color with- 

 in. Partial thread-like veil manifest, in the form of a cortina. Gills 

 sinuato-adnate, somewhat decurrent, crowded, broad, pallid then light- 

 yellowish, at length clay-cinnamon. Odor peculiar, mild. 



On branches and among leaves, oak and beech. Frequent. Sep- 

 tember to December. Stevenson. 



Spores 5x4/x W. P. ; plum-shaped, 7/u. Q.; elliptical, io-i2x5/x, Mas- 

 see; ellipsoid, 67x3-4^1 K. 



New York. Among fallen leaves and half-buried decaying wood, in 

 thin woods. Conklingville. September. In wet weather the gluten 

 is sufficiently copious to drop from the pileus. Peck, Rep. 40. 



Haddonfield, N. J., among leaves in mixed woods. Frequent. 1896.
