  Pileus 
  thin, 
  convex 
  or 
  nearly 
  plane, 
  even, 
  minutely 
  silky, 
  moist 
  

   in 
  wet 
  weather, 
  reddish-gray, 
  the 
  margin 
  when 
  young 
  incurved 
  

   and 
  whitish 
  ;

  This 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  small 
  species 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  section 
  Sericella 
  and 
  

   related 
  to 
  Triclioloma 
  coelata, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  

   different 
  color 
  and 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  an 
  umbilicus 
  from 
  the 
  pileus. 
  

   This 
  is 
  sometimes 
  papillate, 
  and 
  both 
  it 
  and 
  the 
  stem 
  imbibe 
  moist- 
  

   ure. 
  The 
  latter 
  is 
  ileshy-fibrous, 
  and 
  its 
  cavity 
  is 
  very 
  small. 
  In 
  

   the 
  larger 
  specimens 
  the 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  pileus 
  is 
  often 
  wavy, 
  and 
  the 
  

   edge 
  of 
  the 
  lamellae 
  eroded. 
  Triclioloma 
  Hebeloma, 
  a 
  closely 
  allied 
  

   species, 
  may 
  be 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  more 
  conical 
  pileus, 
  slender 
  

   habit 
  and 
  smaller 
  spores. 
  

  

  Clitocybe 
  basidiosa. 
  

  

  Pileus

  thin, 
  convex, 
  then 
  expanded 
  and 
  umbilicate 
  or 
  cen- 
  

   trally 
  depressed, 
  glabrous, 
  hygrophanous, 
  grayish-brown 
  and 
  striatu- 
  

   late 
  on 
  the 
  margin 
  when 
  moist, 
  dingy- 
  white 
  or 
  grayish- 
  white 
  when 
  

   dry, 
  flesh 
  whitish 
  ; 
  lamellae 
  arcuate 
  or 
  nearly 
  plane, 
  thick, 
  distant, 
  

   adnate 
  or 
  slightly 
  decurrent, 
  whitish 
  with 
  a 
  violaceous 
  tint 
  ; 
  stem 
  

   equal 
  or 
  slightly 
  thickened 
  above, 
  glabrous, 
  firm, 
  whitish 
  or 
  pallid 
  ; 
  

   spores 
  subglobose, 
  .00016 
  to 
  .0002 
  in. 
  long, 
  basidia 
  elongated, 
  .0024
