The Mycologic Flora of the Miami Valley, O. 195 
ous. Lamelle distant, rather broad, thickish, emarginate behind 
pallid. 
Growing out of the cracks in fence rails, in spring. Pileus 2 of an 
inch or less in breadth, stipe 2 of an inch long. The margin of the 
pileus is deeply sulcate, with the interstices darker, which gives it a 
very neat appearance; the stipe is often slightly attenuated downward. 
This is one of Mr. Lea’s discoveries. 
b. Pileus villous. 
3. L. LeEcomTE!, Fr.—Pileus fleshy-tough, infundibuliform, refiexed, 
hairy, tawny. Stipe short, hairy. Lamelle serrate, crowded, pallid. 
On logs and stumps. Pileus infundibuliform and more or less 
irregular, 1-3 in. broad. ~ 
4. L. strigosus, Fr.—Pileus fleshy-tough, unequal, somewhat de- 
pressed, strigose-hirsute, tawny-reddish. Stipe excentric, strigose- 
hirsute. Lamelle decurrent, pallid, 
On logs and stumps. Pileus 1-3 in. broad. Very closely related to 
the preceding species, but differing in the villous stipe, the shorter 
and more crowded hairs of the pileus and the broader lamelle irregu- 
larly torn. 
c. Pileus glabrous. 
d). L. ompHALODEs, B. & C.—Pileus fleshy-tough, thin, infundibuli- 
form, glabrous, whitish. $tipe slender, thickened upward, fibrillose 
and spongy at the base. lLamellz entire, narrow, decurrent, white. 
On rotten sticks on the ground. Pileus 1-24 in. across, the stipe 
21 in. long. Pileus in the larger specimens more or less irregular. 
This is not the LZ. omphalodes, Fr. My specimens are much larger 
than those described in the “ Notices,” but they agree so well other- 
wise that I could not make a new species. The color is not given by 
Berkeley & Curtis. 
6. L. casprrosus, B. & C.—Remarkably czspitose. Pileus plane, 
tough, alutaceous, clothed with close-pressed, brownish-red fibrils; 
the margin incurved. Stipe flexuous, tough, striate, grayish-white, 
fibrillose, solid, formed of fibres. Lamelle entire, white, long-de- 
current. 
In woods on the ground. Pileus 14-2 in. across, the stipe 3 in. high, 
and 2 lines thick. A very curious species, easily distinguished from 
its allies by its entire lamelle. 
7. L. cocHLEatus, Pers.—Tough, flaccid. Pileus fleshy, tough, ir- 
regular, somewhat lobed or contorted, glabrous, reddish. Stipe solid,
