The Mycologic Flora of the Miami Valley, O. 183 
and 1 in. thick. The specimens I find appear to be nearer Prof. 
Peck’s species than anything else; they are not zonate, and the stipe 
is commonly spotted. 
4, L. zonantus, Bull.—Pileus compact, umbilicate, even, viscid, 
with yellowish zones; the margin involute, naked. Stipe solid, short, 
elastic, even, yellowish. Lamelle close, thin, whitish; milk white, 
acrid. Spores white, minutely echinulate, almost globose, .007 mm. in 
diameter. 
In grassy woods. Pileus 2-3 in. broad, stipe 14 in. high. Margin 
of the pileus always declined, and more or less flexuous; the stipe 
never spotted; the flesh white, unchanged and very compact. 
5. L. triviaLis, Fr.—Pileus fleshy, depressed, viscid, not zonate, 
lurid, expallent. Stipe hollow, stout. Lamellz thin, close, white; the 
milk acrid, white. Spores white. 
In hilly woods. Pileus 4-6 in. broad, stipe 2-4 in. long, and 1] in. 
thick. The pileus is of a dark color, sometimes with a tinge of flesh- 
color; the stipe is nearly white. 
c. Pileus dry, generally unpolished. 
6. L. PERGAMENUS, Fr.—White. Pileus fleshy, tough, convex, then 
plano-depressed, repand, not zonate, rugulose, glabrous. Stipe stuffed 
glabrous, changing color. Lamelle adnate, very narrow, horizontal, 
crowded, branched, white, then straw-color; milk acrid, white. 
In woods. Pileus 3-6 in. broad, stipe 14-3 in. long. Very similar 
to the next species, but the stipe longer, the pileus thinner and the 
lamelle not arcuate. 
7. L. preeratus, Scop.—White. Pileus compact, umbilicate, then 
infundibuliform, nearly regular, not zonate, even, glabrous. Stipe 
solid, thick, very short. Lamelle decurrent, close, arcuate, then 
ascending, narrow, dichotomous; milk abundant, acrid white. 
In woods. Pileus 3-5 in. in diameter, stipe about 1 in. long. 
Milk very hot and peppery. Pileus generally quite infundibuliform; 
stipe very short and thick. 
8. L. VELLEREUS, Fr.—White. Pileus compact, convex-umbilicate, 
tomentose, not zonate, the margin reflexed. Stipe solid, thick, 
pubescent. Lamellze decurrent, distant, arcuate; milk scarce, white, 
aerid. 
In woods. These three species may all be found together in the same 
woods; they are thought by some to be merely varieties of one and the 
same species; they are very much alike in their general appearance.
