54 Annual Report of the State Botanist. 



white; stem equal, solid, fibrillose-striate, somewhat bulbous, whitish; 

 spores elliptical, .0003 to .00035 in. long, .00016 to .0002 broad. 



Pileus 2 to 3 in. broad ; stem 3 to 4 in. long-, 3 to 4 lines thick. 



Woods and fields. Essex and Rensselaer counties. August. 



This species is very closely allied to the preceding one of which 

 it is perhaps only a variety. It is separable by the pileus which 

 varies in color from white to yellowish and by the stem which is 

 sHghtly bulbous thickened at the base but not radicated. The 

 stem is generally very slender in proportion to the size of the 

 pileus. This is sometimes slightly and broadly umbonate. In very 

 wet weather the pileus is moist but the species has been placed 

 here because of its affinity with T. lascivuin. 



Tricholoma chrysenteroid.es Pk. 



Golden-flesh Tricholoma 



(N. Y. State Mus. Rep. 24, p. 60.) 



Pileus fleshy, convex or plane, not at all umbonate, firm, dry, 

 glabrous or slightly silky, pale-yelloio or buff, becoming dingy 

 with age, the margin sometimes reflexed, flesh pale-yelloiu, taste 

 and odor farinaceous; lamellae rather close, emarginate, yellowish, 

 becoming dingy or pallid with age, ma^'ked ivith transverse veinlets 

 along the upper edge, the interspaces venose; stem equal, firm, 

 solid, glabrous, fibrou~;-striate, yellowish without and within ; spores 

 elliptical, .0003 to .0004 in. long, .0002 to .00024 broad. 



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



Woods. Lewis and Cattaraugus counties. September. 



Nearly allied to T. chrysenterum, but separable by the lamellae, 

 which are somewhat veiny and not free, by the entire absence of an 

 umbo and by its farinaceous odo» and taste. 



Tricholoma fallax Fk. 



Fallacious Tricholoma 



(N. Y. State Mus. Rep. 25. p. 74. Plate 1, figs 5 to 8.) 



Pileus firm, convex or nearly plane, rarely centrally depressed, 

 moist in wet weather, glabrous, dull saffron, subochraceous or red- 

 dish yellow, flesh yellowish when dry; lamellae narrow, close, 

 tapering outwardly, rounded behind, yelloiv; stem short, glabrous, 

 slightly tomentose at the base, equal or tapering downward, stuffed 

 or holloiv, colored like the pileus ; spores minute, elliptical, .00012 

 to .00016 in. long.
