Pileus fleshy, thin toward the margin, convex becoming nearly 
plane, generally umbonate and centrally rugosely wrinkled, moist 
in wet weather, glabrous, yellowish white becoming brownish or 
grayish brown, flesh white, odor and flavor farinaceous; lamellae 
broad, subdistant, slightly adnexed becoming free or nearly so, 
often wavy or eroded on the edge, whitish becoming pinkish; stem 
equal, solid, slightly fibrous externally, mealy at the top, white; 
spores subglobose, angular, .0003-.0004 of an inch in diameter. 
Pileus 4-6 inches broad; stem 4-6 inches long, 8-12 lines thick. 
Woods. Menands, Albany co. August. 
The flavor is at first farinaceous and agreeable but it leaves an 
unpleasant burning sensation in the mouth for a long time. It is 
therefore probably an unwholesome species and should not be used 
as food. 
Conoidea subg. nov. 
Small species with the pileus subpersistently conic or campanu- 
late and stem slender, long and hollow. Small slender species 
growing in damp shaded places, in vegetable mold, among mosses 
or in bogs and swamps. The lamellae are rather broad, ascending 
and often wavy or eroded on the edge. The species appear to be 
peculiar to this country.
