The Mycologic Flora of the Miami Valley, O. 103 
Growing out of the base of standing maple trees. Pileus 2-3 in. 
broad, stipe 3-5 in. long. This is a very marked species and rather 
rare, though it is liable not to be seen by reason of its habit of nest- 
ling between the roots of the maple. Under a lens the lamellz appear 
to be beaded on the edge with milky globules. 
b’. Lamelle at first yellow. 
96. A. spEcTABILIS, Fr.—Pileus compact, convexo-plane, dry ; the 
cuticle torn into silky scales or fibres. Stipe solid, ventricose, some- 
what rooting, mealy above the annulus. Lamelle adnate-decurrent, 
close, narrow, yellow then ferruginous. Spores ferruginous, oblique, 
.009X.006 mm. 
At the base of oak stumps. Somewhat cespitose ; pileus 3-5 in. 
broad ; stipe 3-5 in. long, and 1 in. thick in the middle. Pileus thick, 
tawny or golden in color, then growing paler; flesh pale yellow, with 
here and there a tinge of sulphur. A large coarse species not uncom- 
mon in autumn, which does not appear to grow eastward. 
97, A. apriposus, Fr.—Pileus compact, convexo-plane, obtuse, luteous, 
glutinous, squarrose with superficial, seceding, concentric, darker 
scales. Stipe stuffed, somewhat bulbous, luteous and scaly as the 
pileus. Lamelle adnate, broad, luteous then ferruginous. Spores 
ferruginous, .007x.009 mm. 
At the base of trees, especially beech. Czespitose, very large, shin- 
ing when dry, white within; the scales thick, ferruginous. Pileus 3-5 
in. broad, the stipe 3-5 in. long. This is a beautiful species growing 
in large tufts. Compared with the preceding, the pileus is very viscid, 
the stipe nearly equal, the flesh white within, and the lamelle broad. 
Lea’s Catalogue. 
98. A. TUBERCULOsus, Scheeff.—Pileus, fleshy, convexo-plane, obtuse, 
dry; the cuticle broken up into innate, appressed, small scales. Stipe 
hollow, incurved, short, bulbous fibrillose; the annulus somewhat 
membranaceous, deciduous. Lamelle emarginate, broad, serrulate, 
yellow, somewhat cinnamon. Spores bright ferruginous, elliptic, 
.0083X.0056 mm. 
Growing out of solid timbers, little decayed. Rather solitary; the 
pileus 2-3 in. broad; the stipe 1-2 in high, rather slender and some- 
what bulbous where it starts from the wood. The pileus is quite thick, 
the flesh white; the lamelle are very broad, 
6. Pileus glabrous, hygrophanous. 
99, A, muTABILIS, Scheff.—Pileus fleshy, convexo-explanate, glab
