occurs chiefly in gravelly soil. With us it varies considerably iu the 

 color of the pileus, which may be either white or pale yellow, tinned 

 with greeu or brown. It is often irregular or deformed and frequently 

 destitute of an umbo. The fibrils are either brown or blackish. The 

 bitter taste is sometimes absent. 



Tricholoma grave, n. sp. 



[Plate 1. Figs. 5 to 8.] 



Pileus at first hemispherical, then broadly convex, compact, glabrous, 

 grayish-tawny and somewhat spotted when moist, paler when dry, the 

 margin paler, involute, often irregular, clothed with a minute appressed 

 grayish- white tomentum or silkiness, flesh grayish-white; lamellffi 

 subdistant, rounded behind or sinuate, adnexed, at first whitish, then 

 pale ochraceous-tawny; stem stout, compact, solid, subsquamulose or 

 furfuraceous, abruptly attenuated at the base, penetrating the soil 

 deeply, grayish- white ; spores broadly elliptical, .0003 in. long, .0002 

 broad. 



Pileus 5 to 8 in. broad; stem 3 to 4 in. long, 1 to 1.5 in. thick. 



Mixed woods of pine and oak. Manor. September. 



This species is remarkable for its great size and weight. It is 

 apparently allied to Tricholoma colossus, from which it is separated bv 

 the absence of any viscidity of the pileus, the radicating character 

 of the base of the stem and by the flesh not assuming a reddish color. 

 By its moist pileus it appears to belong to the Spongiosi rather than 

 to the Limacini among which T. colossus is jilaced. 



Clitocybe multiceps, n. sp. 



Pileus fleshy, thin except on the disk, firm, convex, slightly moist in 

 vvet weather, whitish, grayish or yellowish-gray, flesh white, taste 

 mild ; lamellae close, adnate or slightly decurrent, whitish ; stems 

 densely csespitose, equal or slightly thickened at the base, solid or 

 stuffed, firm, elastic, slightly pruinose at the apes, whitish ; spores 

 globose, .0002 to .0003 in. broad. 



Pileus 1 to 3 in. broad ; stem, 2 to 4 in. long, 3 to (5 lines 

 thick. 



Open places, grassy ground, etc. Albany and Sandlake. June and 

 October. This species forms dense tufts often composed of many 

 individuals. In this respect it is related to such species as Clitot'ylte 

 tumulosa, C. aggregata and C. illudens. From the crowtling together 

 of many individuals the pileus is often irregular. Souietimes the 

 disk is brownish and occasionally slightly silky. The lamelljr are 

 sometimes slightly sinuate, thus indicating a relationship to the
