Pholiota anomala. Pileus at first hemispherical or subcorn- 

 eal, then convex, glabrous, hygrophanous, broccoli-brown when 

 moist, pale-yellow or cream-color when dry ; lamellae adnate or 

 slightly decurrent, subarcuate, pale becoming brownish-ferruginous, 

 often white on the edge ; stem cavernous or hollow with irregular 

 transverse partitions, sometimes containing a cottony tomentum, 

 whitish, with a slight evanescent annulus; spores elliptical, .0003 

 to .0004 in. long, .00016 to .0002 broad. 



Pileus 8 to 18 lines broad; stem 1.5 to 2.5 in. long, I to 3 lines 

 thick.

The species belongs to the tribe Truncigenae, section Hygro- 

 phanae. It is well marked by its fugacious annulus, subdecurrent 

 lamellae and peculiar cavernous stem. 



Hebeloma foedatum. Pileus fleshy, convex becoming plane 

 or centrally depressed, glabrous, very viscid or glutinous, reddish 

 cinnamon, flesh yellowish-white ; lamellae subventricose, emar- 

 ginate with a decurrent tooth, cinnamon-color, becoming mummy- 

 brown ; stem solid, equal or slightly thickened at the base, fibril- 

 lose, paler than the pileus; spores broadly elliptical, .00024 to 

 .0003 in. long, .00016 to .0002 broad. 



Pileus 1.5 to 3 in. broad; stem 1..5 to 2.5 in. long, 2 to 4 lines 

 thick.

The species is apparently related to H. firmiun, H. tcstaccum 

 and H. glutinosum, from all of which it is separated by its small 

 spores. Its viscid pileus causes dirt to adhere to it in such quan- 

 tity as to give the plant a very defiled, unattractive appearance. 



Flammula anomala. Pileus deeply umbilicate or infundibuli- 

 form, often irregular, glabrous, whitish ; lamellae narrow, close, 

 decurrent, pale-ferruginous ; stem short, irregular, whitish ; spores 

 globose, brownish-ferruginous, .00024 in. broad. 



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



Plant commonly caespitose. Ground. Trexlertown, Pennsyl- 

 vania. October. Dr. William Herbst. 



A whitish umbilicate pileus is unusual among species of Flam- 

 mula. This plant appears to belong to the tribe Gymnotae. 



Tubaria pallescens. Pileus fleshy but thin, convex or nearly 

 plane, sometimes slightly depressed in the center, glabrous, hy- 

 grophanous, brick-red when moist, yellowish or cream color when
