This plant may be distinguished from the closely related M. 

 atromarginata Fr. by its smaller size and the purplish tint to the 

 edge of the lamellae, and from M. purpureofusca Pk. by its differ- 

 ently shaped, longer spores. 



Omphalia semivestipes. Pileus very thin, deeply convex or 

 subcampanulate, glabrous, grayish-brown in the dried state, paler 

 when fresh ; lamellae rather broad, distant, arcuate, decurrent, 

 white or whitish ; stem hollow, white or whitish, the upper half 

 glabrous, the lower half clothed with a white mycelioid tomentum ; 

 spores elliptical, .0002 to .00024 in. long, .00012 to .00016 broad. 



Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad; stem about I in. long, I to 2 lines 

 thick.

This plant is apparently related to such species as 0. setipes 

 Fr. and O.grisea Fr. and belongs to the tribe My cenariae. It is 

 easily recognized by the peculiar character of the stem. In the 

 dried examples the upper glabrous part of the stem is shriveled 

 and longitudinally striate, but the lower tomentose part is plump 

 and even as in the fresh plant. 



Hygrophorus elegantulus. Pileus convex or nearly plane, 

 glabrous, viscid, grayish-yellow or slightly tawny, flesh white ; 

 lamellae distant, slightly decurrent, white; stem equal, solid, slightly 

 floccose-squamulose at the top, elsewhere glabrous, glutinous, 

 white or whitish, sometimes abruptly pointed at the base ; spores 

 elliptical, .0004 in. long, .0002 to .00024 broad. 



Pileus 1 to 2 in. broad ; stem 2 to 3 in. long, 3 to 4 lines thick. 



Woods. Maryland. November. T. Taylor. 



The species belongs to the tribe Limacium, and is related to 

 H. discoidens Fr., from which it may be separated by its solid stem 

 and larger spoies. 



Entoloma ferruginans. Pileus fleshy, convex, obtuse or um- 

 bonate, often irregular, hygrophanous, glabrous, shining, dark 

 fuliginous or broccoli-brown, flesh whitish, fibrous and colored at
