CORTINARIUS CtERULESCENS Ff. 



Ground in woods and groves. Brewerton. Sept. 



Our specimens were violet rather than blue, but they were not very young 

 and may have lost some of their original color. 



CORTINARIUS CRYSTALLINUS Ff. 



Mossy ground in low woods. Sandlake. Oct. 



The specimens are much smaller than the dimensions given in the descrip- 

 tion, and the habitat is different, but they agree very well with the figures of 

 the species. 



CORTINARIUS (PHLEGMACIUM) AMARUS 71. sp. 



Pileus convex or expanded, often irregular, smooth, glutinous in wet 

 weather, yellow, the disk sometimes tinged with red, pale-yellow when dry, 

 the margin whitish ; lamellae close, rounded behind, whitish, then ochraceous- 

 cinnamon ; stem soft, tapering upward, solid, whitish, at first clothed with 

 white silky fibrils ; flesh white, taste very bitter. 



Plant gregarious or subcaespitose, 1-2 high, pileus about 1' broad, stem 

 2' -4" thick. 



Ground under spruce and balsam trees. Adirondack Mountains. Aug. 

 In wet weather the stem is sometimes viscid, apparently from the gluten 

 of the pileus running down upon it.
