Psathyra conica n. sp. 



PLATE H, FIG. 17-22 



Pileus thin, conical, rarely convex, glabrous, hygrophanous, dark 

 brown when moist, pale ochraceous when dry; lamellae very broad, 

 close, adnate, whitish or pallid when young, dark brown when mature, 

 often with a white flocculent edge ; stem slender, hollow, silky fibrillose, 

 brown ; spores elliptic, .0002-.00024 of an inch long, .00016 broad. 



Pileus 4-6 Unes broad; stem 1-1.5 inches long, .5 line thick. 



Decaying prostrate trunks of spruce. Floodwood. September. 



Panaeolus alveolatus n. sp. 



PLATE H, FIG. 30-36 



Pileus thin, fragile, broadly convex, glabrous, hygrophanous, dark 

 brown when moist, grayish brown when dry, pitted, flesh brown when 

 moist; lamellae broad, close, adnexed, subventricose, blackish with a 

 white edge when mature; stem equal, slender, hollow, glabrous, slightly 

 pruinose at the top, pallid ; spores black, broadly elliptic, .0005-.00055 

 of an inch long, .0003-.0004 broad. 



Pileus 8-12 lines broad; stem 1.5-3 inches long, 1-2 lines thick. 



Dung in woods. Floodwood. August. This species was found grow- 

 ing with Galera tenera and Stropharia semiglobata. 

 The surface of the pileus is not reticulate by the anastomozing of 

 elevated ridges as in P. retirugis, but is pitted with small cavities 

 somewhat distant from each other. 



Gomphidius flavipes n, sp. 



PLATE I, PIG. 1-4 



Pileus convex or nearly plane, viscid, minutely tomentose in the 

 center, slightly fibrillose on the margin, dingy pink, flesh white; lamellae 

 arcuate, decurrent, distant, whitish; stem equal or somewhat narrowed 

 below and pointed at the base, solid, slightly fibrillose, whitish at the 

 top, elsewhere pale yellow both externally and internally ; spores oblong 

 fusiform, .0009-.0012 of an inch long, .00025-. 0003 broad. 



Pileus 10-12 lines broad; stem r.5-2.5 inches long, 3-4 lines thick. 



Mixed woods. Westport. October. This is a rare but well marked 

 and beautiful species. Its pale yellow stem and pinkish pileus at once 

 distinguish it from all our other species. The specimens turn black in 

 drying.
