NEW SPECIES OF NEW YOEK FUNGI. 



Tricholoma infantilis, 



Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, even, minutely silky, moist 

 in wet weather, reddish-gray, the margin when young incurved 

 and whitish ; lamella? subdistant, plane or slightly ventricose, often 

 eroded on the edge, whitish ; stem short, equal or tapering upward, 

 hollow, slightly silky, colored like the pileus or a little paler ; spores 

 broadly elliptical, .0003 to .00035 in. long, .0002 to .00025 broad, 

 often containing a shining nucleus. 



Plant gregarious, pileus 4 to 12 lines broad, stem 1 to 1.5 in. 

 high, 1 to 2 lines thick. 



Gravelly soil in fields. Sandlake. June. 



This is a very small species belonging to the section Sericella and 

 related to Tricholoma ccelaia, from which it is distinguished b}*- its 

 different color and the absence of an umbilicus from the pileus. 

 This is sometimes papillate, and both it and the stem imbibe moist- 

 ure. The latter is fleshy-fibrous, and its cavity is very small. In 

 the larger specimens the margin of the pileus is often wavy, and the 

 edge of the lamella? eroded. Tricholoma Hebeloma, a closely allied 

 species, may be distinguished by its more conical pileus, slender 

 habit and smaller spores. 



Clitocybe basidiosa. 



Pileus rather thin, convex, then expanded and umbilicate or cen- 

 trally depressed, glabrous, hygrophanous, grayish-brown and striatu- 

 late on the margin when moist, dingy-white or grayish- white when 

 dry, flesh whitish ; lamella? arcuate or nearly plane, thick, distant, 

 adnate or slightly decurrent, whitish with a violaceous tint ; stem 

 equal or slightly thickened above, glabrous, firm, whitish or pallid • 

 spores subglobose, .00016 to .0002 in. long, basidia elongated, .0024 

 in. long, bearing spicules .0003 in. long. 



Plant single or csespitose, 1 to 2 in. high, pileus 16 to IS lines 

 broad, stem 1 to 2 lines thick. 



Woods and swamps. Sandlake and East Berne. August.
