DISTINGUISHING FIELD-MARKS: This species differs from /ас- 
taria fuliginosa in its darker seal-brown color, the velvety cover- 
ing of the pileus and stem, the more rugose surface of the pileus, 
and in the larger average size of the plant. 
Peck has described one “ variety” under this species, Z. /igniota 
tenuipes, which differs in the small size and the slender stem. This 
form has been found also in Connecticut by Hanmer 1479, and in Ver- 
mont I found one specimen, 4 3, 3995. gro us = - nep
