the base; bpores elliptic, .00024-.0003 of an inch long, .00016-.0002 

 broad. 



Pileus 1-2 inches broad; stem 2-4 inches long, 2-4 lines thick. 



Single or cespitose. Decaying wood. Essex county. June. 

 Found but once. The species is apparently related to P h o 1 i o t a 

 margin ata (Batsch) from which it may be distinguished by its 

 even fibrillose margin, adnexed lamellae and paler uniformly col- 

 ored stem. In drying, the moisture, as usual in hygrophanous 

 species, first disappears from the center of the pileus.
