Hypholoma boughtoni n. sp. 



PLATE II, FIG. 1-7 



Pileus fleshy, thin except in the center, broadly convex or sub- 

 hemispheric, rarely with a slight umbo, glabrous or slightly fibril- 

 lose, often concentrically and areolately cracking, pale reddish brown 

 or grayish brown, flesh whitish, taste disagreeable ; lamellae un- 

 equal, moderately close, adnate, purplish brown, seal brown or black- 

 ish, obscurely spotted, whitish on the edge; stem equal, floccosely 

 fibrillose, striate at the top, hollow, white or whitish; spores black 

 on white paper, broadly elliptic, apiculate, 10-12 x 7-8 a*. 



Pileus 2.5-7 cm broad ; stem 2.5-6 cm long, 4-10 mm thick. 



Ground in woods and in open places. Near Pittsford, Monroe 

 co. and at Menands. August. F. S. Boughton and C. H. Peck. 



This species is closely allied to Hypholoma v e 1 u t i n u m 

 (Pers.) Fr. from which it may be separated by its dry, not hygro- 

 phanous, pileus, its whitish flesh and stem, the absence of cystidia 

 and the larger spores. The spore print of both this and Hypho- 

 loma rigidipes Pk. is black on white paper. This would 

 indicate a close relationship to the Melanosporae, not only of these 

 two species, but probably also of the closely related species 

 H . velutinum ( Pers. ) Fr. and H . lacrymabundum Fr. 



Pileus carnosulus, centro excepto, late convexus vel subhemi- 

 sphaericus, rare subumbonatus, glaber vel subglaber, saepe rimosus, 

 ruf o-brunneus vel griseo-brunneus, carne albida, sapore mgrato ; 

 lamellae inaequales, subconfertae, adnatae, obscure maculatae, pur- 

 pureo-brunneae, atro-brunneae vel nigrescentes, acie albida ; stipes 

 aequalis, floccoso-fibrillosus, ad apicem striatus, cavus, albidus ; 

 sporae in fundamento candido atrae, late ellipsoideae, apiculatae, 



10-12 X y-S ;j..
