  minutely 
  denticulate 
  on 
  the 
  edge; 
  stem 
  flexuose, 
  

   equal 
  or 
  slightly 
  thickened 
  toward 
  the 
  base, 
  hollow, 
  fibrillose 
  or 
  

   sometimes 
  squamulose 
  below 
  the 
  annulus, 
  pruinose 
  or 
  mealy 
  above, 
  

   pallid, 
  the 
  annulus 
  membranous, 
  white 
  or 
  whitish, 
  radiately 
  striate 
  

   on 
  the 
  upper 
  surface; 
  spores 
  narrowly 
  elliptical, 
  .0004

  The 
  fibrils 
  of 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  stem 
  have 
  a 
  tawny 
  hue. 
  The 
  

   species 
  is 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  P. 
  togularis, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  separated 
  

   because 
  of 
  the 
  hygrophanous 
  pileus 
  and 
  the 
  adnexed 
  lamellae. 
  From 
  

   P. 
  blattaria 
  the 
  different 
  color 
  adnexed 
  lamellae 
  and 
  larger 
  spores 
  sep- 
  

   arate 
  it. 
  The 
  peculiar 
  upper 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  annulus 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  

   indicated 
  in 
  the 
  figure 
  of 
  P. 
  togularis 
  var. 
  Maris, 
  as 
  given 
  by 
  Fries.

  This 
  is 
  apparently 
  a 
  variable 
  species. 
  Our 
  specimens 
  resemble 
  

   more 
  closely 
  the 
  long-stemmed 
  form 
  figured 
  by 
  Fries, 
  but 
  this 
  form 
  

   also 
  sometimes 
  has 
  the 
  slight 
  but 
  evanescent 
  hairy 
  floes 
  or 
  scales 
  

   when 
  young, 
  although 
  the 
  figures 
  do^ 
  not 
  show 
  them. 
  European 
  

   authors 
  do 
  not 
  agree 
  in 
  the 
  characters 
  ascribed 
  to 
  the 
  spores 
  of 
  this 
  

   species; 
  one 
  describing 
  them 
  as 
  '' 
  elliptic-oblong, 
  ferruginous 
  8x4,'' 
  

   another 
  as 
  " 
  subellipsoid 
  or 
  sphaeroid-ellipsoid, 
  yellowish, 
  5-6x3-5 
  

   or 
  12x5." 
  These 
  can 
  not 
  all 
  be 
  correct, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  two 
  or 
  

   three 
  species 
  have 
  been 
  confused. 
  In 
  our 
  plant 
  the 
  spores 
  are 
  really 
  

   naviculoid 
  or 
  boat 
  shaped. 
  They 
  are 
  about 
  .0003 
  in. 
  long, 
  and 
  .00016 
  

   or 
  .0002 
  broad, 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  position 
  they 
  are 
  in, 
  being 
  more 
  

   narrow 
  when 
  viewed 
  edgewise 
  than 
  when 
  viewed 
  flatwise. 
  In 
  color 
  

   they 
  are 
  pale 
  ferruginous 
  or 
  yellowish-ferruginous. 
  P. 
  unicolor, 
  

   according 
  to 
  the 
  description, 
  has 
  broader 
  lamella 
  and 
  longer 
  spores.
