GENUS ENTOLOMA 
The members of this genus have pink spores, and the 
lamellz attached to the stem, or with a notch near the junction 
of gilland stem. The stemis fleshy, and not tough and hard as 
in Leptonia and Nolanea, genera with pink spores and adnate 
or sinuate lamella. There are some twelve species in this genus, 
none of which have any economic interest. 
GENUS ECCILIA 
The members of the genus Eccilia have neither volva nor 
annulus. The gills grow downward on the stem, the spores are 
pink, and the stems have a hard, tough rind, not fleshy as in 
Clitopilus. There are three species known in America. 
GENUS VOLV ARIA 
The members of the genus VYolvaria are fleshy fungi, soon 
becoming putrescent. The spores are salmon colour. A volva 
is present, but no annulus. Distinguished from Amanitopsis by 
having salmon-coloured spores instead of white. 
GENUS CLITOPILUS 
The members of this group have neither volva nor annu- 
lus. The gills grow downward on the stem, the spores are 
pink, and the stem is fleshy, without a hard and tough rind as 
in Eccilia. There are fourteen American species, of which at 
least two species are edible.
