BOWL SHAPE CLITOCYBE 

 Sylloge V, p. 1 74 



Pileus fleshy but thin toward the margin, plane becoming infundi- 

 buliform, flaccid, dry, glabrous, white becoming tinged with pink or 

 tan color in rainy weather, flesh white, odor agreeable; lamellae 

 moderately close, decurrent, white ; stem stuft'ed or solid spongy 

 M/ithin, elastic, slightly thickened at the base, white ; spores ellipsoid, 

 6-8 X 4-5 IX. 



Pileus 4-5 cm broad ; stem 4-7 cm long, 6-9 mm thick. 



In or near woods. Adirondack mountains. August. Found but 

 once. 



The specimens were young but apparently belong here and are 

 admitted with some hesitation. Related to Clitocybe 

 infundibuliformis (Schaeff.) Fr. but easily distinguished by 

 its white color. The spore dimensions here given are taken from 

 American specimens. 



Clitocybe maxima (G. & M.) Fr.
