slightly thickened at the base, white, sometimes pruinose; spores 

 globose, 4 /x in diameter, 



Pileus 5-10 cm broad; stem 10-15 cm long, 12-20 mm thick. 



Cespitose. Prostrate trunks of trees in woods. Lewis co. Sep- 

 tember. Very rare. Found but once and then in small quantity. 



The tufts are composed of few individuals. 



Clitocybe revoluta Pk. 



REVOLUTE CLITOCYBE 

 N. Y. State Mus. Rep't 46, p.23 



Pileus convex or nearly plane, glabrous, whitish and slightly 

 striatulate on the margin when moist, white when dry, the thin 

 margin commonly and irregularly revolute ; lamellae thin, narrow, 

 close, adnate or slightly decurrent ; stem glabrous, solid when young, 

 stuffed or somewhat hollow when old, whitish ; spores subglobose, 

 4-5 fx long. 



Pileus 2.5-7 cm broad ; stem 5-7 cm long, 6-10 mm thick. 



Densely cespitose. Woods. Albany co. September. Rare. 

 Found but once. 



The pileus is often irregular from its densely tufted mode of 

 growth. Occasionally the plant is solitary and then it is more 

 regular with the margin spreading but not revolute. 



Clitocybe multiformis Pk. 



MULTIFORM CLITOCYBE 

 N. Y. State Mus. Mem. 4, p.141, pl-47, fig-i-Q 



Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, often lobed or irregular, 

 glabrous, whitish, grayish or yellowish when moist, paler when dry, 

 flesh white when dry; lamellae thin, narrow, close, adnate or slightly 

 decurrent, white or whitish; stem equal, solid, glabrous, white; 

 spores ellipsoid, 5-6 x 3-4 [jl. 



Pileus 2.5-7 cm broad ; stem 2.5-5 cm long, 4-6 mm thick. 



Cespitose. Low damp places in woods. Albany co. October. 

 Edible. Found but once. 



The stem is often flexuous and compressed. The center of the 

 pileus is sometimes tinged with brown. The mushroom does not 

 retain its color well in drying. Its pileus is much thinner than that 

 of Clitocybe multiceps Pk.
