20 Thirty-third Annual Report of the 



Oortittarius (Inoloma) pulchrifolius, n. sp. Pileus convex or ex" 

 panded, obtuse, silky-fibrillose, whitish or reddish-gray, the margin 

 often whitened by the veil; lamella? broad, subdistant, emarginate, 

 bright purple or violet-purple ; stem cylindrical, solid, bulbous, silky- 

 fibrillose, white, often tinged with violet, violaceous within ; spores, 

 subelliptical, rough, .0004 in. to .0005 in. long, about . 0003 in. broad. 

 Plant 2 in. to 4 in. high, pileus 2 in. to 4 in. broad, stem 3 lines to 5 lines 

 thick. Oak woods. Wading River. Sept. This species is easily 

 known by its pale pileus and bright-colored lamella 1 . From the hue 

 of these the plant might, at first sight, be taken for Agaricus ochro- 

 piirpureus, but when mature the lamella? assume the characteristic 

 cinnamon color of species of Oortinarius, though it is somewhat darker 

 than usual. 



Oortinarius (Inoloma) rubrocinereus, n. sp. Pileus convex, then 

 expanded, silky-fibrillose, reddish-cinereus; lamella? subdistant, 

 rounded behind, emarginate, dingy-violaceous, soon becoming pale- 

 cinnamon ; stem short, solid, bulbous, silky-fibrillose, whitish tinged 

 with violet; spores subelliptical, .0004 in. to .0005 in. long, about .0003 

 n. broad ; veil whitish-cinereus, flesh when young violaceous. Plant 

 gregarious, about 2 in. high, pileus 2 in. to 3 in. broad, stem 4 lines to 6 

 lines thick. Sandy soil in open places. Riverhead. Sept. This species 

 is closely related to the preceding, from which it is separated by its 

 darker colered pileus and differently colored lamella?. 



Oortinarius uliginosus, Berk. In sphagnous bogs. Center. Sept- 

 The fingers become stained in handling fresh specimens of this plant- 

 Paper in which they are wrapped is also stained by them. The spores 

 are elliptical-cymbiform, .0004 in. long, .00025 in. broad. The pileus 

 is sometimes obtusely, sometimes acutely, umbonate, and sometimes 

 without any umbo. 



Oortinarius croceoconus, Fr. Woods. Gansevoort. Aug. 



Oortinarius (Dermocybe) sericipes, n. sp. Pileus thin, conical or 

 subcampanulate, sometimes expanded and umbonate, glabrous, chest- 

 nut-color, the umbo often darker ; lamella? broad, close, ascending or 

 ventricose, narrowed behind, whitish, then tawny or tawny-cinnamon, 

 white on the edge; stem equal, hollow, silky-fibrillose, shining, white, 

 slightly mealy at the top ; spores large, unequally elliptical, pointed 

 at each end, granular within, .00065 in. long, .00045 in. broad. Plant 

 gregarious or subca?spitose, 1 in. to 3 in. high, pileus 6 lines to 12 lines 

 broad, stem 1 line to 2 lines thick. Damp ground in thin woods. Center. 

 Oct. 



Oortinarius (Dermocybe) basalis, n. sp. Pileus thin, convex or ex- 

 panded, hairy, tawny ; lamella? loose, subventricose, pale tawny when 

 young, cinnamon color when old; stem short, equal, hollow, fibrillose, 

 pallid or pale-tawny, usually with a webby annulus near the base ; 

 spores subelliptical, .0003 in. long, .00018 in. broad ; flesh pallid, odor 

 none. Plant subca?spitose, about 1 in. high, pileus 5 lines to 10 lines 

 broad, stem 1 line thick. Naked soil in wood. Wading River. Sept. The 

 noticeable feature in this species is the slight annulus w T hich is placed 

 below the middle of the stem. The hairy pileus and the lamella? are 

 nearly alike in color. 



Russula fragilis, Fr. Woods. Center. Oct.
