150 Forty- FOURTH Report on the State Museum 



The foUowing" species and varieties are extra limital. Having 

 been sent to me for identification, and finding* no description appli- 

 cable to them, I place them on record here. 



Tricholoma maculatescens n. sp. 



Pileus compact, spongy, reddish-brown, convex then explanate, 

 obtuse, even, slightly viscid when wet, becoming rivulose and 

 brown-spotted in drying, flesh whitish, margin inflexed, exceeding 

 the lamellae; lamellae slightly emarginate, rather narrow, cinereous; 

 stem spongy -fleshy, equal, sometimes abruptly narrowed at the base, 

 solid, stout, fibriliose, pallid or whitish ; spores oblong or subfusi- 

 form, pointed at the ends, uninucleate, .0003 in. long, .00016 broad. 



Pileus 1.5 to 3 in. broad ; stem 2 to 3 in. long, 6 to 9 lines thick. 



Among fallen leaves in deciduous woods. Ohio. October and 

 November. A. P. Morgan. 



This appears to be related to T. transmutans and T. flavohrun- 

 neum, but may be distinguished from them by the spotting of the 

 pileus and the shape of the spores. 



Agaricus campestris L. 



Var. griseus. Pileus pale-gray, silky, shining ; annulus evanescent. 



Winchester, Virginia. October. T. Taylor. 



This mushroom, though quite different in appearance from the 

 ordinary forms of A. campestris, is scarcely more than a variety. 

 Its spores are of the same size and character as in that species. It 

 is eaten freely by the inhabitants of Winchester. 



Armillaria mellea Vahl. ^ 



Var. radicata. Stem penetrating the ground deeply with a 

 tapering, root-like prolongation. 



London, Canada. J. Dearness. 



The root-like prolongation of the stem is suggestive of that seen 

 in Gollyhia radicata, but in all other respects the plant is ^. mellea. 



(E) 



NEW YOEK SPECIES OF TKICHOLOMA 



Tricholoma Fr. 



Hymenophorum continuous with the stem, the veil obsolete or 

 only floccose or fibriliose and adherent to the margin of the pileus ; 

 lamellse sinuate behind, not equally attenuate, adnate or decurrent ; 

 stem flesh}^, not corticated.
