The Agaricaceae of Ohio. 491 



The occurrence of L. pelidna B. & M., described from 

 Sullivant's material, is doubtful. It is said to have a greenish- 

 livid, rugose pileus, a solid, bulbous stipe and to grow on fallen 

 logs. S. Gy. 



Fries (Hym. Eur. 31) regarded L. acutesquamosa as a 

 variety of L. Friesii Lasch, from which it differs in having the 

 scales of the pileus erect and the lamellae simple. In this country 

 the plants are usually known as L. acutesquamosa. Morgan lists 

 the species as L. aspera Pers. His plants referred to L. hemisclera 

 B. & C. and to L. asperula Atk. were probably only forms of L. 

 acutesquamosa. 



L. glischra Morg. Jour. Myc^ 12:203 is based on plants 

 referred to L. oblita Peck in the Mycologic Flora (p. 64). 



The plants referred by Morgan to L. felinoides Peck should 

 probably be referred to L. rubrotincta . 



L coerulescens Peck = L. virescens (Speg.) Morg. 



L. rufescens Morg. Jour. Myc. 12:246, is based on plants 

 which he had previously reported as L. fuscosquamea Peck 

 (Mycologic Flora, p. 62). 



L. naucinoides Peck is said by its author to dififer from 

 L. naucina Fr. principally in having the spores subelliptic, while 

 those of the latter were said to be globose. The two species are 

 probably not distinct, for the spores of the American plant, at 

 least, are variable in shape. 



ARMILLARIA FR. 



A.^ Lamellae adnate or subdecurrent ; pileus with pointed tufts 

 of blackish or brownish hairs, margin striate. S. 80; 



M. 64; H. 57; Mc. 55 ; A. 83 A. mellea Vahl 



A.- Lamellae sinuate or adnexed ; pileus without hairy scales ; 

 margin not striate. 

 B.^ Stipe not bulbous; whitish pileus variegated with brown 

 spots. S. 86; H. 59; Mc. 57; P. R. 43:41- 



A. nardosiiiia'^ Ellis 



* The lamellae of A. nardosmia are described as emarginate (sin- 

 uate) but Peck says he finds the plants with lamellae adnate or sub- 

 decurrent. He regards this name as a synonym for A. rhagadiosa Fr., 

 a European species. P. R. 43 : 4'2.
