44 Annual Report of the State Botanist, 



glabrous, colored like the pileus or a little paler; spores angular, 

 .0003 to .0004 in. long. 



Pileus 8 to 15 lines broad, stem 1.5 to 3 in. long, 1 to 2 lines tliick. 



Damp soil in thin woods. Albany county. October. 



The species is allied to C. vilis, from which it is separated by its 

 silky-shining pileus subdistant lamellee and farinaceous taste. 



Clitopilus Woodianus, PL 



Woods Clitopilus. 



Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, umbilicate or centrally depressed, 

 hygrophaneous; striatulate, on the margin when moist, whitish or yel- 

 lowish-white and shining when dry, the margin often wavy or flexuous; 

 lamellae close, adnate or slightly decurrent, whitish, then flesh-colored; 

 stem equal, flexuous, shining, solid, colored like the pileus; spores sub- 

 globose, angular, .00025 to .0003 in. long. 



Pileus 1 to 2 in. broad; stem 2 to 3 in. long, 2 lines thick. 



Ground and decayed prostrate trunks in woods. Lewis county. 

 September. 



This species is perhaps too closely allied to the preceding, but it 

 may easily be separated by its paler color, closer lamellse and solid 

 stem, though this is sometimes hollow from the erosion of insects. In 

 color it resembles Entoloma Grayanum, but it is a much more slender 

 species with a different mode of attachment to the lamellse. 



Spores rosy-red. 

 Clitopilus erythrosporus; Pk. 



Ked-spored Clitopilus. 



Pileus thin, hemispherical or strongly convex, glabrous or merely 

 pruinose, pinkish-gray, flesh whitish tinged with pink, taste farina- 

 ceous, lamellse narrow, crowded, arcuate, deeply decurrent, colored 

 like the pileus; stem equal or slightly tapering upward, hollow, 

 slightly pruinose at the top, colored like the pileus; spores elliptical, 

 .0002 in. long, .00012 to .00016 broad. 



Pileus 1 to 2 in. broad; stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, 2 to 3 lines thick. 



Decayed wood and among fallen leaves in woods. Albany and 

 Ulster counties. September and October. 



The species is easily recognized by its peculiar uniform color, its 

 narrow, crowded and generally very decurrent lamellse and by its 

 bright rosy-red spores. Sometimes individuals occur in which the 

 lamellse are less decurrent.
