234 SECTION HYGROCYBE 



"•J( 



Fig. 68. H. nitidus 



Observations — We have not seen the type, which is from South 

 Carolina, but have studied Ellis' collection at the New York Botanical 

 Garden which Murrill, in turn, found to agree with the type at Kew. 

 M. Lange (1955) reports H. vitellinus Fr. sensu M oiler, from Green- 

 land, and believes it to be different from H. nitidus. In the latter, he 

 points out, the hyphae of the gill trama are much broader than those of 

 H. vitellinus, and the stipe is more slender.
