oortinarius (telamonia) furfurellus u. sp. 



Pileus thin, convex, furfuraceous with minute squamules, hygrophanous, 

 watery-tawny when moist, pale ochraceous when dry ; lamellae broad, thick, 

 distant, adnate or slightly emarginate, tawny-yellow, then cinnamon ; stem 

 equal, peronate, colored like the pileus, with a slight annulus near the top ; 

 spores subelliptical, minutely rough, 0003 -.0004' long, .00025' broad. 



Fiant 1-2 high, pileus V-2' broad, stem 2 "-4" thick. 



Moist ground in open places. Gansevoort. Aug.

Lactarius pubescens Fr. 



Ground in open woods. Sandlake and Gansevoort. Aug. 



Our specimens have the margin of the pileus obsoletely pubescent, and 

 generally narrowly zonate. The stem is white, and either equal or tapering 

 downward ; it is sometimes spotted, but I have not seen it with incarnate 

 tints. In other respects they agree so well with the description of L. pube- 

 scens, that I have concluded to refer them to that species. 



Lactarius corrugis n. sp. 



Pileus fleshy, compact, firm, convex, then expanded or centrally depressed, 

 merulioid or corrugated with gyrose-reticulate wrinkles, dark reddish-brown 

 or chestnut-colored, becoming paler with age, suffused as if with a slight 

 pruinosityj lamellae close, dark creamy-yellow or sub-cinnamon, becoming 

 paler, often distilling drops of moisture, sordid or brownish where bruised; 

 stem equal, solid, firm, paler than the pileus, sub-pruinose ; spores large, sub- 

 globose, .00045 -.0005' in diameter, intermixed with small acicular points or 

 spicules, .0016-002' long; flesh whitish or cream-colored, milk copious, 

 white, mild. 



Plant 4-6' high, pileus 3-5' broad, stem 6''-12" thick. 



Ground in woods. Sandlake, Gansevoort and Brewerton. August and 

 September. 



This remarkable species is related to L. voleinus. It is, however, of a 

 darker color, and the surface of the pileus is very uneven from the presence 

 of rugae or folds, which present an appearance much like that of the hymenium 

 of some species of Merulius. The spicules of the lamellae too are a peculiar 

 feature. They are so numerous that under a lens they give a pubescent 

 appearance to the edge of the lamellae.

Ground in woods. Gansevoort and Brewerton. Aug. and Sept. 

 Our specimens agree with the description in every respect except that the 

 lamellae are not distant.
