unless the plant be cut or wounded or until it is dried. The outer 

 or lower surface of the annulus is scaly. 



Agakictjs (Lepiota) fuscosquameus Pech.^ 



Pileus hemispherical or convex, rough, with numerous erect 

 pointed blackish-brown scales; lamellae close, white, free; stem 

 equal, thickened at the base, hollow or stuffed with a cottony pith, 

 floccose, brown ; spores .0003 x .00014 of an inch. 



Plant 2-3 inches high, pileus 1.5-2 inches broad, stem 3 lines 

 thick. 



Ground in woods. Croghan, Lewis county. September. 



AaARICTJS FELINTJS PcTS, 



Ground in woods. Croghan and North Elba. August and 

 September. 



Fries, in his Epicrisis, unites this species with Ag. clypeolarius^ 

 and indeed in our specimens there is no external mark whereby the 

 one may be separated from the other except the darker color of 

 the scales in Ag. felinus. But this difference is so strongly sup- 

 ported by the much smaller spores (.00028 x .00016 in.) that I am 

 constrained to follow Persoon in considering this plant distinct 

 from Ag. clypeolarius. Ag.fusGosquameus may be separated from 

 it by its stouter habit, bulbous stem and more narrow spores. 



Agakicus (Lepiota) oblittjs Pech. 



Pileus fleshy, convex or expanded, subumbonate, smooth or 

 obscurely squamose from the breaking up of the veil, viscid, alu- 

 taceous, inclining to tawny, the umbo generally darker ; lamellse 

 crowded, free, whitish or yellowish, some of them forked ; stem 

 equal or slightly tapering upward, smooth at the top, floccose, 

 viscid, hollow or containing a cottony pith; annulus obsolete; 

 spores .00016 x .00012 in. 



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



Ground in frondose woods. Lowville, Lewis county. September. 



Agaeicus (Armillaeia) pondeeosus Peck. 



Pileus thick, compact, convex or subcampanulate, smooth, white 

 or yellowish, the naked margin strongly involute beneath the 

 slightly viscid persistent veil ; lamellse crowded, narrow, slightly 

 emarginate, white inclining to cream color; stem stout subequal, 

 firm, solid, coated by the veil, colored like the pileus, white and 

 furfuraceous above the annulus ; flesh white; spores nearly globose, 

 .00016 in. in diameter.
