158 Forty-fourth Report on the State Museum 



Pileus 2 to 4 in. broad ; stem 2 to 4 in. long, 5 to 8 lines thick. 



On or about pine stumps, rarely on hemlock trunks. Eensselaer, 

 Albany, Oneida, Lewis, Cattaraugus and Fulton counties. July to 

 November. 



The species is somewhat variable in size and color. When old 

 the pileus sometimes becomes yellowish, variegated with purplish 

 or reddish stains. The villosity on the edge of the lamellse is not 

 always equally developed. T. variegatum of the Twenty-third 

 Report, page 74, is probably only a small form of this species 

 having the edges of the lamellae nearly naked. 



Tricholoma scalpturatum Fr. 



Scratched Tricholoma 



(Hym. Europ., p. 55. Syl. Fung. Vol. V, p. 100. Agaricus impolitoides N. Y. State Mus. 



Rep, 32, p. 25.) 



Pileus at first conical or convex, then expanded, obtuse, dry, cov- 

 ered with t omentum which at length forms hrotvnish or reddish 

 floccose scales, whitish, flesh whitish; -lamellaB somewhat crowded, 

 emarginate, whitish, sometimes becoming yellowish when old ; stem 

 equal, solid or stuffed, fibrillose, white ; spores elliptical, .00025- 

 .0003 in. long ; .00016 to .0002 broad. 



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



Woods. Saratoga county. August. 



Our plant has a farinaceous taste, about which nothing is said in 

 the description of the European plant. In other respects the 

 characters are well sustained by it. 



Tricholoma flavescens Pk 



Pale-yellowish Tricholoma 



(N. Y. State Mus. Rep. 26, p. 51.) 



Pileus convex, firm, often irregular, dry, slightly silky, becoming 

 glabrous, sometimes cracking into minute scales on the disk, tvhitish 

 or pale yellow, Aesh. whitish or yellowish; lamellae close, white or 

 pale-yellow, emarginate, floccose on the edge; stems firm, solid, 

 often unequal, central or sometimes eccentric, single or caespitose, 

 colored like the pileus ; spores subglobose, .0002 in. in diameter. 



Pileus 2 to 3 in. broad ; stem 1 to 2.5 in. long, 4 to 6 lines thick. 



Pine stumps. Albany and Rensselaer counties. October. 



The species seems to be related to T. rutilans but has not the red 

 or purplish tomentum of that fungus. It, like T. decorosum, is 

 always lignicolous, T. rutilans is sometimes so.
