Report of the State Botanist 165 



The whole plant is white or whitish, as in T. leucocephalum, from 

 which it is separated by its subdistant lamellse, somewhat umbo- 

 nate pileus and by the absence of any farinaceous odor. 



Tricholoma terreeolens PJc. 

 Eaeth-smelling Tricholoma 



(N. Y. State Mus. Eep. 38, p, 84.) 



Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, slightly silky-fibrillose, whitish 

 with a brownish or g-rayish-brown slightly prominent disk, taste and 

 odor strong, unpleasant; lamellae subdistant, emarginate, white; 

 stem equal, slightly silky, shining, stuffed or JioUow, white; spores 

 subglobose or broadly elliptical, .00025 to .0003 in. long, .0002 to 

 •00025 broad. 



Pileus 10 to 15 lines broad ; stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, about 2 lines thick. 



Under ground hemlock, Taxus Canadensis. Saratoga county.

The species is related to T. inamwnum, from which it is separated 

 by its smaller size, less distant lamellae, stuffed or hollow stem and 

 different odor. Nor is the stem radicating or the disk tinged with 

 yellow as in that species. The odor is decidedly earthy, resembling 

 that of vegetable mold or mossy rocks. Its taste is similar to its 

 odor and remains in the mouth and throat a long time. 



Tricholoma lascivum Fr. 



Disgusting Tricholoma 



(Hym. Europ., p. 65, Syl. Fung., Vol. V., p. 112.) 



Pileus fleshy, convex or nearly plane, obtuse, at length somewhat 

 depressed, silky, then glabrous, even, whitish or pale tan color, the 

 margin at first involute, flesh white • lamellae adnexed, thin, crowded, 

 white; stem solid, equal, rigid, rooting and tomentose at the base, 

 fibrillose, white; spores .0003 to .0004 in. long, .00014 broad. 



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



Open places. Albany county. September. 



The European plant has the pileus pallid-tan color and has a 



strong odor. In our plant there was no marked odor and the pileus 



was nearly white.
