stem short, solid, slightly silky fibrillose, colored like or a lit :le paler 

 than the pileus, often with a conspicuous white mycelioid tomentum 

 at the base; spores subellipsoid, even, S-io x 5-7 //. 



Pileus 1.5-2.5 cm broad; stem 1.5-2.5 cm long, 2 mm thick. 



Gravelly -soil among fallen leaves. Clinton co. September. 

 Rare. 



This species is related to I n o c y b e t o 111 e n t o s a E.-& E. from 

 which it may be separated by the darker color of the pileus, the 

 absence of an umbo and the larger spores. Its distinguishing feat- 

 ures are its small size and minutely tomentose pileus of a uniform 

 brownish tawny color.

 N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 75, p. 17. pl.O, fig.20-24 



Pileus thin, campanulate or convex, umbonate, obscurely fibrillose, 

 sometimes minutely and obscurely squamulose, whitish or whitish 

 burr, subshining, the margin decurved and often splitting; lamellae 

 thin, close, adnexed, pallid becoming brownish ferruginous ; stem 

 equal, fiexuous, hollow, minutely mealy or pruinose, whitish ; spores 

 angular or slightly nodulose, 8-10 x 6-8 /■/-, cystidia 40-50 x 15-18 ;>■. 



Pileus 2.5-5 cm broad ; stem 5-7.5 cm long, 4-8 mm thick. 



Among fallen leaves in woods. Hamilton co. August. Rare. 



This species resembles large forms of Inocybe g e o p h y 1 1 a 

 (Sow.) Fr. from which it may be separated by its spores.

A g. (Inocybe) paludinellus Pk. N. Y. State Mus. Rep't 31, p.34 



Pileus thin, slightly convex, soon plane, umbonate, subfibrillose, 

 whitish or pallid ; lamellae narrow, close, adnate, whitish becoming 

 subferruginous ; stem slender, equal, colored like the pileus with a 

 mass of white mycelium at the base; spores subangular, very 

 slightly nodulose, 6-8 x 5-6 u, cystidia 45-60 x 12-16 //. 



Pileus 1-2 cm broad; stem 2.5-5 cm long, 1— 1.5 mm thick. 



Gregarious. Low ground and wet places under bushes. Rens- 

 selaer co. August. Rare. 



This species resembles small forms of Inocybe geo p h y 1 1 a 

 (Sow.) Fr. in color, but it is at once separated from that species 

 by its slightly nodulose spores. From Inoc y b e t r e c h i s p r a
