Inocybe agglutinata, n. sp. 



Pileus at first conical, then campanulate or convex, umbouate, libril- 

 lose, pale tawny, streaked or spotted with appressed fibrils, the umbo 

 usually darker; lamelliB close, broad, ventricose, adjiexed, at first 

 wliitish, then brownish-cinnamon, often white on the edge ; stem firm, 

 solid, white or whitish and pruinose above, brownish or tawny and 

 fibrillose below; spores even, .0004 to .00045 in. long, .0002 to .00024 

 broad. 



Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad; stem 1 to 2 in. long, 1 to 2 lines thick. 

 Under pine trees. Catskill mountains. Septembex'. 



This is a beautiful and well marked species. The fibrils of the 

 pileus appear as if agglutinated to its surface, though it is not viscid- 

 Sometimes thej'^ form tawny spots like appressed scales. In very wet 

 weather they are a2:)t to wash away and disappear. In general appear- 

 ance the plaint resembles /. Whitei, but the umbonate dry pileus at 

 once distinguishes it. The real affinity is with I. geophi/lla. 



Inocybe nigridisca, n. sp. 



Pileus thin, at first convex, then nearly plane or somewhat ceutrally 

 depi-essed, umbonate, moist, minutely fibrillose, blackish-brown with a 

 grayish margin when moist, cinereous when dry; lamelhc close, 

 rounded behind, free or slightly adnexed, at first grayish, then ferru- 

 ginous-brown, sometimes tinged with yellow; stem slender, firm, solid, 

 liexuous, minutely villose-pruiuose, reddish-brown; spores nodulose, 

 .0003 in. long, .0002 broad. 



Pileus 4 to 8 lines broad; stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, .5 line thick. 



Under cinnamon fern, Osmunda cinnamomea. Kasoag. Oswego 

 county. June. 



The adornment of the pileus and stem is so minute that at first m.^iu 

 the plant appears to be glabrous. The margin of the ])ileus soon 

 becomes elevated, causing the center to appear depressed. The spe- 

 cies belongs to the Velutiuie. It is distinguished from I. iHilinlim-lIa 

 by its darker color, and its moist or subhygrophanous cliaracter. 



Inocybe vatricosa, Fr. 



Damp groiind under willows. Catskill mountains. September. 



The pallid color, decumbent stem and webby veil are charactoristic 

 of this species. Thd European plant is said to be inodorous, but our 

 specimens had. a radish-like odor. In it the spores are even, elliptical, 

 .0004 in. long, .00024 broad. I find no description of tlie spores ot tlie 

 European plant. A variety with the disk reddish occurs in the sjinio 

 locality. It appears somewhat like a diminutive form of Heltcloma 

 longicaiidum.
