thin, close, white, becoming orange-red or saffron color where 

 wounded or bruised; stem solid, silky -fibrillose, white, often 

 decumbent or radicating at the base; spores minute, broadly 

 elliptical or subglobose, .OOOir) to .0002 in. long, .00016 broad. 



Pileus 1 to 2 in. broad; stem 1 to 3 in. long, 3 to 5 lines thick. 



Borders of woods. Shokan. September. 



The species may easily be recognized by the obscurely spotted 

 pileus and by the peculiar color assumed by any part of the plant 

 w^here cut or bruised. The spots indicate an affinity with the 

 tribe Guttata, but inasmuch as the specimens were collected in a 

 dry time, the pileus did not exhibit the moist character to be 

 expected in members of that tribe. 



Clitocybe albidula n. s^x 



Pileus thin, at first convex, then umbilicate or centrally 

 depressed, glabrous, hygrophanous, jmle grayish-brown and 

 finely striatulate on the margin when moist, whitish w^hen dry ; 

 lamella? close, adnate or slightly decurrent, dingy -white ; stem 

 short, glabrous or slightl}^ pruinose, hollow, colored like the 

 pileus ; spores minute, elliptical, .'JOOIG to .0002 in. long, .0001 to 

 .00012 broad. 



Pileus about 1 in. broad; stem 1 in. long, 1 to 1.5 lines thick. 



Under pine trees. Delmar. September. 



Kelated to C. candicans, from which it is distinguished by its 

 more dingy color and b}^ its decided farinaceous odor. The 

 margin of the young pileus is whitened b}^ a pruinosity or a 

 minute white villosity. 



Clitocybe revoluta n. sp. 



Densely caespitose ; pileus convex or nearly plane, glabrous, 

 whitish and slightly striatulate on the margin when moist, white 

 when dry, the thin margin commonly and irregularly revolute ; 

 lamellae thin, narrow, close, adnate or slightly decurrent ; stem 

 glabrous, solid when young, stuffed or somewhat hollow when 

 old, whitish ; spores subglobose, .00016 to .0002 in. long. 



Pileus 1 to 3 in. broad ; stem 2 to 3 in. long, 3 to 5 lines thick. 



Woods. Alcove, Albany count}^ September. 



This plant forms dense tufts of considerable extent and com- 

 posed of many individuals. In these tufts the pileus is more or 

 less irregular with the margin wavy and revolute. Occasionallj^
