Pileus 8-15 lines broad; stem 3-5 inches long, 1-2 lines thick. 



Among sphagnum in marshes. Floodwood. August. Remarkable 

 for the variabihty in the shape and color of the pileus. Specimens 

 sometimes appear as if they had been browned by the sun. 



Entoloma peckianum Burt ms. 



PLATE F, FIG. 9-16 



Pileus thin, conical, becoming convex or subcampanulate, moist or 

 subhygrophanous, dark brown or blackish brown and shining when 

 moist, paler with the escape of moisture, umbonate, obscurely 

 roughened by the matted ends of minute adnate fibrils, lamellae 

 close, ascending, broad, abruptly rounded behind, adnexed, whitish, be- 

 coming pink or salmon color; stem fleshy, slender, equal, hollow, fibril- 

 lose striate, pale brown, often whitish at the base, white within; spores 

 angular, uninucleate, .0004-.0005 of an inch long, .0003-.0004 broad. 



Pileus 8-15 lines broad; stem 2-4 inches long, 1-2 lines thick. 

 Among sphagnum in marshes. Floodwood. August. 



This species was associated with E. v a r i a b i 1 e . It has the general 

 appearance of N o 1 a n e a i n f u 1 a Fr., from which it differs in its fleshy 

 stem and broad lamellae. In the dried specimens these assume a bright 

 yellowish salmon color and the pileus becomes black. The fresh plant 

 has no decided taste or odor. 



Entoloma luteum n. sp. 



PLATE F, FIG. 1-8 



Pileus thin, conical or subcampanulate, obtuse, squamulose at the 

 apex, moist, yellow or smoky yellow, becoming a little paler as the 

 moisture escapes, sometimes tinged with green; lamellae ascending, 

 moderately close, broad, whitish, becoming pale salmon color with age; 

 stem slender, equal, hollow, slightly fibrillose striate, colored like the 

 pileus, with white mycelium at the base; spores angular, commonly 

 subquadrate, .0004-.0005 of an inch broad. 



Pileus 6-10 Hues broad; stem 3-4 inches long, 1-2 lines thick. 

 Mossy ground in woods. Floodwood. August. The squamules of the 

 center of the pileus are very minute and easily overlooked. This and 

 the two preceding species, with E. cuspidatum and E. s a 1 - 

 m o n e u m , constitute a natural group of closely related species. In 

 size and in the shape of the pileus and character of the stem they are 

 very similar to each other, but they difter distinctly in the color of the
