  Marasmius 
  ramulinus 
  n.

  Pileus 
  very 
  thin, 
  submembranaceous, 
  broadly 
  convex, 
  nearly 
  even 
  

   when 
  young, 
  becoming 
  irregularly 
  plicate-striate 
  or 
  radiately 
  

   wrinkled 
  on 
  the 
  margin^ 
  subumbilicate 
  or 
  slightly 
  depressed 
  in 
  the 
  

   center, 
  white; 
  lamellae 
  rather 
  close, 
  adnate, 
  white; 
  stem 
  slender, 
  

   inserted, 
  minutely 
  downy 
  or 
  pruinose, 
  stuffed, 
  whitish, 
  becoming 
  

   rufescent 
  or 
  pale 
  tawny 
  red; 
  spores 
  elliptic, 
  .0003

  Related 
  to 
  Marasmius 
  ramealis 
  and 
  M. 
  candidus. 
  From 
  the 
  former 
  

   it 
  may 
  be 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  striate 
  or 
  wrinkled 
  pileus 
  and 
  from 
  

   the 
  latter 
  by 
  its 
  adnate 
  closer 
  lamellae. 
  Its 
  spores 
  also 
  are 
  larger 
  

   than 
  in 
  either 
  of 
  these. 
  

  

  Marasmius 
  polyphyllus 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Pileus 
  fleshy, 
  thin, 
  convex 
  or 
  nearly 
  plane, 
  even_, 
  varying 
  in 
  color 
  

   from 
  whitish 
  to 
  pale 
  reddish, 
  often 
  reddish 
  brown 
  on 
  the 
  disk, 
  odor 
  

   and 
  taste 
  alliaceous; 
  lamellae 
  very 
  numerous, 
  narrow, 
  crowded, 
  ad- 
  

   nexed 
  or 
  almost 
  free, 
  white; 
  stem 
  equal, 
  hollow, 
  reddish 
  brown, 
  

   clothed 
  with 
  a 
  whitish 
  down 
  or 
  tomentum 
  which 
  is 
  commonly 
  more 
  

   abundant 
  toward 
  the 
  base; 
  spores 
  minute, 
  elliptic, 
  .0002 
  to 
  .00024 
  

   in. 
  long, 
  .00012 
  to 
  .00016 
  broad. 
  

  

  Pileus 
  I 
  to 
  2 
  in. 
  broad; 
  stem 
  1.5 
  to 
  3 
  in. 
  long, 
  i 
  to 
  3 
  lines 
  thick. 
  

  

  Shaded 
  damp 
  ground. 
  Minerva, 
  Essex 
  county. 
  July. 
  

  

  Gregarious 
  or 
  sometimes 
  caespitose. 
  Occasionally 
  specimens 
  

   are 
  found 
  that 
  exceed 
  the 
  dimensions 
  given 
  above. 
  The 
  peculiar 
  

   garlic-like 
  flavor 
  remains 
  in 
  the 
  mouth 
  a 
  long 
  time 
  after 
  tasting 
  the 
  

   flesh. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  referable 
  to 
  the 
  tribe 
  Tergini 
  and 
  is 
  related 
  to 
  

   M. 
  prasiosmus, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  differs 
  in 
  its 
  larger 
  size, 
  more 
  crowded 
  

   lamellae 
  and 
  smaller 
  spores. 
  The 
  lamellae 
  are 
  whiter 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  

   Collybia 
  conUuens 
  and 
  nearly 
  as 
  crowded. 
  Their 
  great 
  number 
  has 
  

   suggested 
  the 
  specific 
  name. 
  The 
  downy 
  coating 
  of 
  the 
  stem 
  is 
  

   usually 
  very 
  thin 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  and 
  sometimes 
  absent 
  there.
