58 TWENTT-SIXTH REPORT ON THE StATE MuSEUM. 



Agaeicus (Nauooria) bellulus Peck. 



Pileus thin, moist, convex, smooth, bright watery-cinnamon ; 

 lamellae crowded, narrow, emarginate, yellow, becoming darker 

 with age ; stem equal, hollow, generally curved, smooth, reddish- 

 brown ; spores .0002 x .00014 in. 



Plant 1' high, pileus 6"-12" broad. 



Decaying hemlock trunks in woods. Lowville and Sandlake. 

 September. 



It is sometimes csespitose. It is rare to find a specimen in which 

 the lamellae do not have a stained or spotted appearance as if bit- 

 ten by some small insect. 



Agaeicus (Naucoeia) geminellus Feck. 



Pileus convex, even, dry, firm, yellowish-red, the margin paler; 

 lamellae crowded, emarginate, pale yellow; stem equal, smooth, 

 containing a white pith or a small cavity, colored like the pileus ; 

 flesh white; spores .00033 x .0002 in. 



E-otten wood. Croghan. September. 



This plant is closely related to the preceding one, being of the 

 same size and habit, but differing in color and in the size of the 

 spores. As in that species the lamellae are spotted as if bitten by 

 insects. 



Agaeicus (J^aucoeia) discomoebidus Peels. 



Pileus thin, convex or expanded, smooth, slightly viscid, reddish- 

 brown or dull chestnut color; lamellae narrow, crowded, minutely 

 serrulate, white or pallid, then brownish ; stem equal, stuffed, 

 smooth, slightly mealy at the top, white ; flesh white ; spores 

 nucleate, .0004 x .00025 in. 



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



Ground in woods. Croghan and Copake. September and 

 October. 



In the dried specimens the disk has a dark discolored appear- 

 ance as if beginning to decay, whence the specific name. 



Agaeicus (Galeea) expansus Peck. 



Pileus submembranaceous, expanded or centrally depressed, 

 viscid, plicate-striate on the margin, brownish -ochre, sometimes 

 tinged with yellow and pink hues ; lamellae close, attached, ferru- 

 ginous; stem long, equal, hollow, slightly pruinose, faintly striate, 

 yellow ; spores .00045 x .00028 in. 



Plant 3'-4' high, pileus 1 broad, stem 1" thick. 



Decaying wood. Sandlake and Memphis. August.
