thin, close, white, becoming orange-red or saffron color where 

 wounded or bruised; stem solid, silky-fibrillose, white, often 

 decumbent or radicating at the base; spores minute, broadly 

 elliptical or subglobose, .OOoir, to .0002 in. long, .00016 broad. 



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



Borders of woods. Shokan. September. 



The species may easily be recognized by the obscurely spotted 

 pileus and by the ])eculiar color assumed by any part of the plant 

 Avhere cut or bruised. The spots indicate an affinity with the 

 tribe Guttata, but inasmuch as the specimens were collected in a 

 dry time, the pileus did not exhibit the moist character to be 

 expected in members of that tribe. 



Clitocybe albidula «. sp. 



Pileus thin, at first convex, then umbilicate or centrally 

 depressed, glabrous, hygrophanous, ])ale grayish-brown and 

 finely striatulate on the margin when moist, whitish when dry ; 

 lamella? close, adnate or slightly deeurrent, dingy-white ; stem 

 short, glabrous or "shghtly pruinose, hollow, colored like the 

 pileus; spores minute, elliptical, .-OOIB to .0002 in. long, .OOul to 

 .00012 broad. 



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



Under pine trees. Delmar. September. 



Related to C. eandicans, from which it is distinguished by its 

 more dingy color and by its decided farinaceous odor. The 

 margin of the young pileus is whitened by a pruinosity or a 

 minute white villosity. 



Clitocybe revoluta n. sp. 



Densely casspitose ; pileus convex or nearly plane, glabrous, 

 whitish and slightly striatulate on the margin when moist, white 

 when dry, the thin margin comnioidy and irregularly revolute ; 

 lamelliu thin, narrow, close, adnate or slightly deeurrent ; stem 

 glabrous, solid when young, stuffed or somewhat hollow when 

 old, whitish ; spores subglobose, .00016 to ,0002 in. long. 



Pileus 1 to 3 in. broad ; stem 2 to 3 in. long, 3 to 5 lines thii-k. 



Woods. Alcove, Albany county. Sei)tember, 



This plant forms dense tufts of considerable extent ami com- 

 posed of many individuals. In tliese tufts the ])ileus is more or 

 less irretfular with tiie margin wavy and revolute. Occasionally
