white ; lamellae thin, close, narrow, adnate, whitish then rosy brown, 

 finally purplish brown ; stem equal, hollow, easily splitting, white or 

 whitish ; spores 8-10 !'- long, 4-6 // broad. 



Pileus 2-6 cm broad ; stem 2.5-7 cm long, 2-6 mm thick. 



Gregarious or sparingly cespitose in lawns, pastures, grassy and 

 bushy places and by roadsides in showery weather. May to Sep- 

 tember. Common. Edible and of excellent flavor. 



This species difl:'ers from the next following species in its paler 

 young pileus, its adnate lamellae which also^ are not at first viola- 

 ceous and in its stem which is not striate at the top. It differs 

 also from the appendiculate hypholoma, H y p h o 1 o m a a p - 

 pendiculatum (Bull.) Fr. by its paler pileus, its larger 

 spores, its more gregarious habit and in its habitat. It occasionally 

 has the pileus radiately and areolately rimose.

Pileus fleshy but thin, convex or subcampanulate, becoming ex- 

 panded, obtuse, glabrous, hygrophanous, bay when young and moist, 

 white with a yellowish center when dry, flesh white ; lamellae 

 rounded behind, adnexed, close, at first violaceous, then cinnamon 

 brown ; stem fragile, subfibrillose, hollow, striate at the apex, 

 white; spores 8-9 // long, 4-5 ,a broad. 



Pileus 5-10 cm broad ; stem 5-7 cm long, 3-6 mm thick, 



Cespitose. Growing on the ground. Silver Springs, Wyoming 

 CO. ' August. Rare. 



We have not seen young and fresh specimens of this plant and 

 doubtfully admit it on the strength of specimens which, in this case 

 as in others so referred, do not show young lamellae with a viola- 

 ceous color, though in other respects they appear to belong to it. 

 Even the figures of it given in Mycological Illustrations and in 

 Illustrations of British Fungi do not show this color to the lamellae, 

 though the description of the species requires it.
