18 Annual Report of the State Botanist, 



species of Tricholoma. The taste, tliougli mild, is somewhat oily 

 and unpleasant. The plants appear in wet, rainy weather, either 

 early in the season or in autumn. Specimens have been sent to me 

 from Massachusetts by R. K. Macadam and Professor Farlow, and 

 from Pennsylvania by Dr. W. Herbst. ^ 



Clitocybe catinus, Fr. 



Ray Brook, Adirondack mountains. August. The pileus is at first 

 white, but in wet whether it becomes pallid or discolored with age. 

 The plants were found growing among pieces of bark of arbor vitse 

 lying on the ground. 



Clitopilus stilbocephalus, B. & Br. 



Syracuse. October. Pi^of. L. M. Underivood. The specimens 

 apparently belong to the variety represented in Cooke's Illustrations, 

 plate 599. 



Coprinus Brassicae, n. sp. 



[Plates. Figs. 9 to u.] 



Pileus membranous, at first ovate or conical, then broadly convex, 

 squamulose, finely striate to the disk, white becoming grayish-brown, 

 the margin generally splitting and becoming recurved; lamellae nar- 

 row, crowded, reaching the stem, brown with a slight ferruginous 

 tint; stem slender, glabrous, hollow, slightly thickened at the base, 

 white; spores elliptical, brown, .0003 in. long, .0002 broad. 



Pileus 4 to 5 lines broad; stem 8 to 10 lines long. 



Decaying stems of cabbage, Brassica oleracea. Menands. August. 



The species is easily known by its squamulose pileus and its brown 

 lamellae and spores. It is related by these to such species as G, 

 phceosporus, G. Friesii and G. tigrinellus. 



Cortinarius (Phlegmacmm) glutinosus, n. sp. 



Pileus convex, glutinous, brownish-ochraceous, the margin nar- 

 rowly involute, flesh yellowish; lamellae adnexed, olivaceous; stem 

 solid, thickened at the base, scarcely bulbous, whitish or pallid; 

 spores subglobose or broadly elliptical, .0003 in. long, .00025 to 

 .0003 broad. 



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



Mossy ground under hobble bushes. Viburnum lantanoides. Sevey. 

 Adirondack mountains. July. 



The dull ochraceous pileus, olivaceous lamellae and pallid stem are 

 the prominent features of the species. The margin of the pileus ia 

 sometimes rimose. In drying the color changes to a chestnut hue.
