Report of the State Botanist 171 



stem equal, glabrous, solid, whitish; spores minute, subglobose, 

 .00018 in. long, .00015 broad. 



Pileus 1 to 2 in. broad ; stem 1.5 to 2.5 in. long, 2 to 3 lines thick. 



Woods. Albany county and Catskill Mountains. September 

 and October. 



The stem splits easily and the pileus becomes paler in drying. 

 It sometimes becomes rimose-areolate. 



Tricholoma virescens Pk. 



Greenish Teicholoma 



(N. Y. State Mus. Rep. 25, p. 74. Agaricus viriditinctus, Rep. 33, p. 36. Tricholoma 

 viriditinctum, Syl. Fung., Vol. V., p. 128.) 



Pileus convex or nearly plane, sometimes centrally depressed, 

 moist, glabrous, dingy-green, the margin sometimes wavy or lobed ; 

 lamellae close, gradually narrowed toward the outer extremity, 

 rounded or slightly emarginate at the inner, white ; stem subequal, 

 stuffed or hollow, thick but brittle, whitish, sometimes tinged with 

 green ; spores broadly elliptical, .0002 in. long, .00015 broad. 



Pileus 3 to 5 in. broad ; stem 3 to 4 in. long, 6 to 12 lines thick. 



Thin woods. Essex county. July. 



The dull smoky-green hue of the pileus is the distinguishing 

 feature of this species. The elevation of the Friesian subgenera to 

 generic rank enables me to restore the original name of this species, 

 for Agaricus virescens B. and C, which antedated it, now becomes 

 Leptonia virescens. 



Tricholoma fumosiluteum Pk. 



Smoky-yellow Tricholoma 



(N. Y. State Mus. Rep. 27, p. 92.) 



Pileus fleshy, convex or nearly plane, moist, glabrous, smoky- 

 yellow, flesh white, tinged with yellow under the cuticle, taste fari- 

 naceous; lamellae broad, close, rounded behind and deeply 

 emarginate, white ; stem stout, glabrous, hollow, white, spores sub- 

 globose, .00018 to .00024 in. in diameter. 



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



Woods. Sullivan, Cattaraugus, Ulster and Greene counties. 

 September. 



The flesh, when cut, emits a farinaceous odor. The plant some- 

 times grows in tufts. In size and general character it is related to 

 T, virescens so closely that it might easily be regarded as a mere 

 yellowish variety of it. The disk of the pileus is often darker than 

 the margin, and the pileus is sometimes spotted.
