The subdis joined tricholoma is a rare species. It has been seen 

 by the writer but once and then only in limited quantity. It was 

 found growing gregariously among mosses and fallen leaves under 

 evergreen and deciduous trees on the margin of a swamp near 

 :\Iohawk Hill, Lewis county, m September. 



The cap is 1-2.5 inches broad, at first conic but expanding with 

 age, with the margin sometimes irregular, wavy or lobed and the 

 surface covered with brown or blackish brown fibrils which radiate 

 from the center toward the margin and sometimes form reticula- 

 tions by connecting with each other. The general color is grayish 

 brown or blackish brown, yellow on the margin and at first nearly 

 black in the center. In wet weather it is a little viscid. Its gills are 

 white, sometimes yellow^ at the outer extremity. They are slightly 

 attached to the stem, which also is white and occasionally tinged 

 with yellow. The stem is 1-2 inches long and 3-6 lines thick, solid 

 and firm. The taste is farinaceous. The plants may be sought 

 in September and October.
