55, A. LEAIANUS, Berk.—Ceespitose, viscid, bright orange. Pileus 
somewhat fleshy, convex; the margin striate. Stipe mostly curved, 
strigose at the base. Lamelle distant, broad, emarginate-attached ; 
the edge a darker orange or vermilion. Spores elliptic, apiculate, 
.0090>.0056 mm. 
Growing in dense tufts on logs and branches in woods; very abund- 
ant throughout the year, from spring to autumn. Pileus about 1 in. 
across, stipe 1-3 in. long. The plant is very viscid, and stains the 
fingers that handle it. The bright orange color fades out as the plant 
grows old. This very beautiful Agaric was named for Mr. Thomas G. 
Lea, who was the first person to study the Fungi of the Miami Valley; 
his original notice of it is dated May, 1844. It grows in New York 
and New England. 
56. A. purus, Pers.—Strong-scented. Pileus somewhat fleshy, cam- 
panulate expanded, obtusely umbonate, glabrous, expallent; the margin 
striate. Stipe rigid, even, nearly naked, villous at the base. Lamellez 
broadly sinuate-attached, very broad, reticulate-connected, of a paler 
color than the pileus. Spores .008 mm. long. 
In woods among the leaves. Witha taste and odor of radishes. Pileus 
about 1 in. broad, stipe 2-3 in. high. Ours may be the pseudopurus of 
Cooke, but I have not seen the description, only the figure ; the rather 
narrow lamelle and longer spores seem to correspond withCooke’s figure. 
The plant exhibits considerable diversity of color, being rose-colored, 
lilac, lavender, pallid, and even white. It is commonly solitary or gre- 
garious, scarcely ceespitose. ; 
b. Pileus dull colored. 
07. A. GALERICULATUS, Scop.—Pileus somewhat membranaceous, 
conic-campanulate then expanded, striate to the umbo, dry, glabrous. 
Stipe rigid, polished, even, glabrous ; the base with a fusiform root. 
Lamelle adnate, decurrent by a tooth, venose-connected, whitish 
or flesh-colored. 
Common in woods upon stumps and fallen trunks. Often densely 
ceespitose, the stipes packed together at the base and strigose. Pileus 
3.2 in. broad, the stipe of variable length. The color whitish, cinere- 
ous, tawny, or brownish.
