Agaeicus (Teicholoma) Hebeloma Peck. 



Pileus broadly conical or sabcampaniilate, obtuse, thin, hygro- 

 phanous, striatulate and brown, with a darker disk when moist, 

 grayish when dry ; lamellse broad, rounded behind and deeply 

 emarginate, yellowish ; stem equal, hollow, smooth, pallid ; spores 

 .00028 X. 00016 in. 



Plant 1' high, pileus 6" broad, stem scarcely 1" thick. 



Ground in woods. Worcester. July. 



This plant so closely resembles some species of the subgenus 

 Hebeloma in general appearance, that, in the absence of the spores, 

 it might easily be mistaken for a species of that subgenus. 



Agartcus (Clitocybe) connexus Pech. 



Pileus thin, convex or expanded, subumbonate, clothed with a 

 minute appressed silkiness, white, the margin sometimes faintly 

 tinged with blue; lamellse crowded, narrow, white inclining to 

 yellowish ; stem equal or tapering downwards, solid, whitish. 



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



Ground in woods. Croghan. September. 



The lamellae sometimes terminate rather abruptly and are not 

 strongly decurrent, hence it might easily be mistaken for a Tricho- 

 loma. The margin of the pileus is sometimes marked with slight 

 ridges as in Ag. laterarius. The odor is weak but aromatic and 

 agreeable. 



Agaricus (Clitocybe) albissimus Pech. 



Pileus convex or expanded, dry, smooth, soft, pure white ; 

 lamellae close, short-decurrent, white, some of them forked at the 

 base ; stem equal, smooth, solid, white. 



Plant growing in rings, 2'- 3' high, pileus 2'- 3' broad, stem 

 2 "-3" thick. 



Ground in woods. Croghan. September. 

 The pure white color and soft texture is retained in the dried 

 specimens. 



Agaricus (Clitocybe) maculosus Peclc. 



Pileus convex, centrally depressed, smooth, marked with nume- 

 rous watery spots when moist, yellowish-white, with slight short 

 radiating ridges on the margin ; lamellae crowded, narrow, long- 

 decurrent, pallid or yellowish, some of them forked ; stem slightly 

 thickened at the base, smooth, stuffed or hollow, colored like the 

 pileus. 



Plant 2-3' high, pileus 1.5' -2' broad, stem 2" -3" thick.
