PLATE II, FIG. 1-7 



Pileus fleshy, thin except in the center, broadly convex or sub- 

 hemispheric, rarely with a slight umbo, glabrous or slightly fibril- 

 lose, often concentrically and areolately cracking, pale reddish brown 

 or grayish brown, flesh whitish, taste disagreeable; lamellae un- 

 equal, moderately close, adnate, purplish brown, seal brown or black- 

 ish, obscurely spotted, whitish on the edge ; stem equal, floccosely 

 fibrillose, striate at the top, hollow, white or whitish; spores black 

 on white paper, broadly elliptic, apiculate, 10-12 x 7-8 p-. 



Pileus 2.5-7 cm broad ; stem 2.5-6 cm long, 4-10 mm thick. 



Ground in woods and in open places. Near Pittsf ord, Monroe 

 CO. and at Menands. August F. S. Boughton and C. H. Peck. 



This species is closely allied to Hypholoma velutinum 

 (Pers.) Fr. from which it may be separated by its dry, not hygro- 

 phanous, pileus, its whitish flesh and stem, the absence of cystidia 

 and the larger spores. The spore print of both this and Hypho- 

 loma rigidipes Pk. is black on white paper. This would 

 indicate a close relationship to the Melanosporae, not only of these 

 two species, but probably also of the closely related species 

 H . velutinum ( Pers. ) Fr. and H. lacrymabundum Fr. 



Pileus carnosulus, centro excepto, late convexus vel subhemi- 

 sphaericus, rare subumbonatus, glaber vel subglaber, saepe rimosus, 

 ruf o-brunneus vel griseo-brunneus, carne albida, sapore mgrato ; 

 lamellae inaequales, subconfertae, adnatae, obscure maculatae, pur- 

 pureo-brunneae, atro-brunneae vel nigrescentes, acie albida; stipes 

 aequalis, floccoso-fibrillosus, ad apicem striatus, cavus, albidus ; 

 sporae in fundamento candido atrae, late ellipsoideae, apiculatae, 

 10-12 X y-% //.
