REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST I9OO I5I 



Cortinarius sublateritius n. sp. 



Pileus fleshy, broadly convex or nearly plane, glabrous, viscid, light 

 red, flesh white; lamallae plane in the mass, thin, close, einarginate, 

 adnexed, pallid, becoming cinnamon; stem short, equal or slightly taper- 

 ing upward, abruptly bulbous, stuffed, silky, whitish; spores subelliptic, 

 pointed at each end, .0004-. 0005 of an inch long, .0002-.00025 broad. 

 Pileus 2-3 inches broad; stem 1.5-2.5 inches long, 3-5 lines thick. 

 Woods. Westport. October. The species is apparently related to C. 

 testaceus Cke., from which it differs in its smaller size, stuffed stem 

 and smaller even spores. It is referable to the tribe Phlegmacium. 



Cortinarius infractus {Pers) Fr. 

 Among fallen leaves in woods. Westport. September. Our spec- 

 imens appear to combine to some extent the characters of both C. 

 infractus and C. an fr actus, but do not agree fully with the 

 description of either as given in Sylloge. Bresadola and Quelet unite 

 these Friesian species under the name Cortinarius infractus, 

 and our specimens seem to confirm the correctness of their view. The 

 flesh in our plant has a bitter taste. 



Cortinarius elatior pallidifolius n. var, 



PLATE G, FIG. 22-26 



Pileus fleshy, convex, becoming nearly plane, sometimes with up- 

 wardly curved margin, at first even, when older corrugated or rugosely 

 wrinkled on the margin, very viscid, subfuscous, becoming ochraceous 

 with age, shining when dry; lamellae thin, close, adnate or slightly 

 rounded behind, uneven on the edge, pallid, becoming ochraceous or 

 cinnamon; stem equal, solid, viscid, silky tomentose, white or whitish 

 tinged with lilac; spores oblong elliptic, .0006-.0007 of an inch long, 

 .0003-.00035 broad. 



Pileus 2-2.5 . inches broad; stem 2-3 inches long, 4-6 lines thick. 



Fallen leaves in woods. Floodwood. August. This plant agrees with 

 the description of C.elatior in many respects but differs in others to 

 such an extent that it has seemed best to recognize it as a variety at 

 least. It differs in its smaller size, shorter stem, whose surface I have 

 never seen broken into scales, paler lamellae and longer spores.
