REPORT OP THE STATE BOTANIST 1902 37 



Colly bia uniformis T*k. 



PLATE M, FIG. 7-16 



Specimens larger than the typical form were found in North 

 Elba, growing on decaying wood of balsam fir, Abies bal 

 same a. After the moisture has escaped from the pileus, it has 

 a pruinose appearance, which is due to a minute, whitish pubes- 

 cence. The stem is sometimes compressed. In its general char 

 acters and tufted mode of growth it is closely allied to C 



f amilia. 



Lactarius suhdulcis oculatus n. var. 



PLATE 83, FIG. 20-24 



Pileus moist, subhygrophanous, vinaceous buff with a small 

 central spot or umbo persistently reddish brown or chestnul 

 color. Otherwise like the species. Under spruce and balsam fir 

 trees. North Elba. September. 



Hygrophorus capreolarius Kalchb. 

 This beautiful species inhabits groves of spruce and balsam 

 fir in North Elba, but I have seen it in no other part of the 

 State. It is gregarious or cespitose, has an attractive appear-

 it develops a bitter taste which makes it objectionable as an " 

 edible mushroom. 



Russnla olivascens Fi\ 



Port Jeiferson. August. European authors in their descrip- 

 tions of this species do not mention the color of the spores. In 

 our plant they are ochraceous. 



Russula granulata lepiotoides Atk. in litt. 

 This variety differs from the typical form in its pileus, whose 

 upper surface soon becomes rimose squamose. It was common, 

 in August, in the woods about Piseco, Hamilton county. 



Cantharellus cibarius albipes n. var. 

 This differs from the usual form of the species in having the 

 stem white. 



Stropharia siccipes radicata n. var. 



Differs from the species in having a long, radicating base to the 

 stem. This probably depends on and is due to the fact that it
