Report of the Botanist. G5 



lar ; lamellae broad, subdistant, narrowed toward the stem, slightly 

 emarginate and attached, more or less denticulate on the edge, 

 usually terminating a little before the margin ; stem equal, hollow, 

 fibrous, often twisted ; spores subglobose, irregular, ^-gVu"' i^ diame- 

 ter. 



Plant pale yellow throughout, 3'-5' high, pileus 9"-12" broad, 

 stem 1"-1.5" thick. 



Swamps and sphagnous marshes. Sandlake. August. (Plate 

 2, figs. 14-18.) 



Apparently closely allied to A. Miirraii^ but the pileus is not 

 striate, and is distinguished by a remarkable cusp. The spores 

 are a little larger than in A. Murraii. 



Agaricus (Extoloma) salmoneus n. sp, 



Pileus thin, conical or campanulate, subacute, rarely with a 

 minute papilla at the apex, smooth, of a peculiar soft ochraceous 

 color, slightly tinged with salmon or flesh color ; lamellae and stem 

 colored like the pileus. 



Low grounds, under spruce trees and in swamps. Sandlake. 

 August. (Plate 4, figs. 6-9.) 



It is with some hesitation that this is proposed as a species, its 

 resemblance to the preceding one is so close. The only diiference 

 is found in its color and in the absence of the prominent cusp of 

 that plant. In both species the pileus is so thin, that in well dried 

 specimens, slender, dark, radiating lines on it, mark the position 

 of the lamellse beneath, although in the living plants these are not 

 visible. 



Agaricus (Clitopilus) Woodianus n. sp. 



Pileus fleshy, thin, convex or expanded, umbilicate or centrally 

 depressed, hygrophanous, striatulate on the margin when moist, 

 whitish or ^^ellowish-white and shining when dry, the margin often 

 wavy or flexuous ; lamellae close, adnate-decurrent, whitish, then 

 flesh colored ; stem equal, flexuous, shining, colored like the pileus, 

 solid or hollow from the erosion of insects; spores subglobose, 

 irregular, 33V0' lo^ig- 



Plant 3' high, pileus 1-2' broad, stem 2" thick. 



Ground and old logs in woods. Greig. September. 



It resembles A. Gray anus in color, but is easily distinguished 

 from it by the more slender habit and the character of the lamellae. 

 Dedicated to Prof. A. Wood, in view of his exalted position as a 

 botanist, and of the many acts of kindness the writer has received 

 from him.
