a. Pileus scaly or prutnose. 
82. A. CERVINUS, Scheeff.—Pileus fleshy, campanulate, then expanded, 
even, glabrous ; the cuticle afterward seceding in fibrils or scales ; the 
margin naked. Stipe solid, black-fibrillose. Lamellz free, white, then 
flesh-color. Spores regular, .0058x<.0046 mm. 
On stumps and old logs in woods; one of the commonest Agarics 
throughout the year from early spring till winter. Pileus commonly 
about 3 in. in diameter, and stipe 3 in. long, though it varies consider- 
ably in size, as well as in color, and is often found much larger than 
these dimensions. Color sooty, smoky-gray, tawny-yellow and whitish, 
the stipe often white. 
83. A. GRANULARIS, Peck.—Pileus convex, then expanded, somewhat 
umbonate, rugose-wrinkled, sprinkled with minute blackish granules, 
brown or brownish-yellow. Stipe solid, pallid or brown, velvety, with 
a short, close plush. Lamelle free, close, ventricose, whitish then 
flesh-color. Spores nearly globose, about .005 mm, in diameter. ; 
On old logs in woods, especially in damp ravines. Pileus 14-24 in, 
broad, stipe 2-3 in. long. This is a very pretty species, not uncommon 
in our woods. I at first took it for the large form of A. nanus, Pers., 
though I could never find a white stipe; afterward I found that Prof. 
Peck had made a new species of it, as above. The granules form a 
sort of plush which is more dense on the disk of the pileus and on its 
wrinkles. 
b. Pileus glabrous. 
84, A. LEonINUS, Scheeff.—Pileus somewhat membranaceous, cam- 
panulate then expanded, glabrous, naked, luteous; the margin striate. 
Stipe solid, glabrous, striate. Lamelle free, yellow flesh-color. Spores 
regular, elliptic. 
On decayed branches in woods. Pileus 1-3 in. broad, stipe 2-3 in. high. 
The pileus is tawny yellow, shaded with bright orange or purplish- 
brown; the stipe is downy at the base, tapering upward, twisted and 
striate, yellow or ochraceous shaded with orange. 
85. A. cHrysopHauS, Scheeff.—Pileus somewhat membranaceous, 
campanulate then expanded, even, naked, glabrous and virgate, 
cinnamon; the margin striate. Stipe disposed to be hollow, glabrous. 
Lamelle free, white then flesh-color. 
On trunks of beech and other wood; somewhat gregarious. Pileus 
1-5 in. across, stipe 2-4 in. long. The color of the pileus yellowish or 
ochraceous-brown; the stipe whitish, mostly twisted.
