The peculiar mark by which the spotted clitocybe may be distin- 

 guished consists in the small round definite spots in the central part of 

 the cap. They have a slightly darker or watery or yellowish color and 

 appear as if depressed below the rest of the 

 surface. The cap is smooth and whitish or 

 yellowish white and is generally depressed 

 in the center and decurved on the margin. 

 The margin is usually adorned with slight, 

 short radiating ridges. The flesh is white 

 and the taste mild.

The gills are closely placed side by side, 

 narrow and prolonged downward on the 

 stem. They have nearly the same color as 

 the cap. The stem is nearly cylindric, 

 smooth or adorned with a few silky fibrils,

whitish and spongy within or some- 

 times hollow when old. 



The cap is from 1-3 inches broad; 

 the stem 23 inches long and 24 

 lines thick. This mushroom grows 

 among fallen leaves in woods. It ap- 

 pears in August and September. I 

 have found it in the Adirondack for- 

 ests only. Its range is probably north- 

 ward, and its rarity detracts from its 

 importance as an edible species. Peck.
