The Mycologic Flora of the Miami Valley, O. 79 
On wood of beech and maple. Pileus 1-5 in. broad, stipe an inch or 
less in length. Commonly whitish, with a strong mealy odor. 
6b, Lamelle decurrent, 
73. A. cortTicatos, Fr.—Pileus compact, entire, densely villous, at 
length floccose-scaly. Stipe firm, rooting, somewhat excentric, 
fibrillose; annulus membranaceous, lacerate. Lamelle decurrent, 
rather distant, divided, white, anastomosing behind. Spores large, 
elliptic-oblong, .011<.005 mm. 
On trunks in woods. Pileus in my specimens about 4 in. in 
diameter, the stipe 2-3 in. long. These specimens which were very few 
in number, may have been the variety tephrotrichus ; the annulus was 
obsolete with the veil appendiculate around the margin of the pileus. 
The whole plant was clear white. 
74. A. saptpus, Kalch.—Cespitose. Pileus fleshy, somewhat ex- 
centric, deformed, glabrous; the center depressed. ‘Stipes solid, 
arising out of a common fleshy tubercle, glabrous, white. Lamelle 
decurrent, rather distant, whitish. Spores with a lilac tinge, oblong, 
or a little curved and pointed, .0083.0037 mm. 
Very common on all sorts of fallen trunks and branches, from early 
spring till late in autumn, and even in the mild weather of winter. 
' Pileus commonly 3-6 in. in diameter, the stipe 1-2 in. long or the 
pileus nearly sessile. The plant is various in form and color, being 
commonly white or clouded with brown; the flesh is always white. 
Clear white paper will disclose the lilac tint of the spores. 
7d. A. satignus, Abb. d. Schw.—Pileus fleshy, compact, spongy, 
somewhat dimidiate, horizontal, at first pulvinate, even, afterward the 
disk depressed, somewhat strigose. Stipe short, tomentose. Lamelle 
decurrent, some of them branched, eroded, distinct at the base, nearly 
the same color as the pileus. Spores .009.0038 mm. 
“Upon trunks of willows late in autumn, solitary.”—/7ries. Pileus 
convex, 4-6 in. broad, stipe excentric or lateral, sometimes obsolete ; 
commonly fuliginous-cinereous, though sometimes ochraceous. Lea’s 
Catalogue is authority for this plant. “Ona prostrate buckeye, Cin- 
cinnati, December.” It is strange that sapidus, so common as it is, is 
not in Lea’s Catalogue. Unless salignus shall yet be verified, we must 
conclude that Mr. Lea mistook sapidus for salignus. 
B. Pileus definitely lateral, not marginate behind. 
76. A. sERoTINUs, Schrad.—Pileus fleshy, compact, viscid. Stipe ex-
