  The 
  veil 
  is 
  sometimes 
  so 
  strongly 
  developed 
  as 
  to 
  form 
  an 
  imper- 
  

   fect 
  annulus. 
  The 
  color 
  is 
  nearly 
  white

  subcampanulate,

   expanded, 
  rugose-wrinkled, 
  subhygrophanous, 
  sprinkled 
  with 
  minute 
  

   shining

  with

  In 
  very 
  wet 
  weather 
  the 
  pileus 
  has 
  a 
  dark 
  watery 
  appearance 
  but 
  

   it 
  dries 
  quickly. 
  The 
  spores 
  in 
  the 
  mass 
  are 
  almost 
  black, 
  neverthe- 
  

   less 
  the 
  plant 
  is 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  the 
  fragile 
  species 
  of 
  Psilocybe.

  This 
  remarkable 
  species 
  does 
  not 
  accord 
  well 
  with 
  the 
  characters 
  

   of 
  the 
  genus 
  to 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  referred 
  it, 
  neither 
  in 
  the 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  

   spores 
  nor 
  in 
  the 
  persistent 
  nature 
  of 
  the 
  lamellae, 
  for 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  

   found 
  these 
  to 
  be 
  deliquescent. 
  Nor 
  will 
  it 
  do 
  to 
  place 
  it 
  among 
  the 
  

   Psathyrae, 
  for 
  the 
  lamellae 
  are 
  free 
  and 
  the 
  pileus 
  is 
  not 
  hygrophanous. 
  

   Also, 
  the 
  free 
  lamellae 
  and 
  brown 
  spores 
  forbid 
  its 
  reference 
  to 
  Psa- 
  

   thyrella. 
  I 
  have, 
  therefore, 
  thought 
  best 
  for 
  the 
  present 
  to 
  place 
  it
