Report of the State Botanist 153 



Variety pinastreti A. & S. is a slender form having- a thin even 

 pileus, thinner and more narrow lamellae and a more slender stem. 

 Agaricus crassus Scop., A. aureus Schseff. and A. flavovirens Pers. 

 are recorded as synonyms of this species.

(N. Y. State Mus. Report 41, p. 60.) 



Pileus thin, campanulate, obtuse, glabrous, slig^htly viscid when 

 moist, greenish-yellow, flesh white; lamellae croioded,hee or sligfhtly 

 adnexed, white; stem equal, firm, glabrous, white ; spores broadly 

 elliptical, .0002 in. long, .00016 broad. 



Pileus 2 to 3 in. broad ; stem 1 to 2 in. long, 3 to 5 lines thick. 



Thin woods. Catskill mountains. September. 



This species resembles some forms of T. equestre, from which it 

 is separated by its white lamellae. It appears to be intermediate 

 between that species and T. sejunctum, from which its glabrous 

 pileus and crowded lamellae distinguish it.

 Separating Tricholoma 



(Hym. Europ. p 48. Syl. Fung. Vol. V, p. 88.) 



Pileus fleshy, convex then expanded, umbonate, slightly viscid, 

 streaked loith innate brown or blackish fibrils, whitish or yellowish, 

 sometimes greenish-yellow, flesh white, fragile; lamellae broad, 

 stibdistant, rounded behind or emarginate, white ; stem solid, stout, 

 often irregular, white ; spores subglobose, .00025 in. broad. 



Pileus 1 to 3 in. broad ; stem 1 to 3 in. long, 4 to 8 lines thick. 



Mixed woods. Sufiblk county. September. 



The plants referred to this species are not uncommon on Long 

 Island, growing in sandy soil in woods of oak and pine. They are 

 ^ usually more or less irregular and the pileus becomes fragile. It is 

 quite variable in color, sometimes approaching a smoky-brown hue, 

 again being nearly white. The taste of the typical form is said to 

 be bitter, but the flavor of our plant is scarcely bitter. In other 

 respects, however, it agrees well with the description of the species.

Earth-bearing Tricholoma 



(N. Y. State Mus. Rep. 41, p. 60.) 



Pileus broadly convex or nearly plane, irregular, often wavy on 

 the margin, glabrous, viscid, pale-alutaceous, generally soiled with 

 adhering particles of earth carried up in its growth, flesh white,
