"Plate 28 represents a form with smooth pileus, the most 

 common form in Maryland. It abounds at the roots of trees, 

 on old stumps, in the corners of old fences, in fact every- 

 where w^ere there is old wood. The taste is not so nauseous 

 as some represent it, yet it reveals the fact that deception 

 may lurk under a pleasant title, ' the honey agaric. ' * * 

 One taste led me to suspect it was a wolf in sheep's clothing." 



Tricholoma rancidulum n. sp. Druid Hill Park Plate 29 



" Pileus 6 to 8 inches across, dry, sometimes marked with 

 rugose lines, glossy, white with a tinge of ochre at the disk, 

 flesh white, brittle, margin striate, sometinies sinuate, then 

 regular, odor very disagreeable ; lamellae slightly decurrent, 

 at first nearly white, then dingy pinkish or brownish ochre, 

 narrow, brittle, separated from the pileus by a touch, close, 

 forked ; stem white or dingy white, brownish at base, curved, 

 stuffed, elastic, nearly equal, smooth ; spores .00016 x .0002 

 inch, white. 



"In woods. Gregarious. It grows chiefly, in vegetable 

 mold."
