Forty-second Annual Report on the 



ceous; stem nearly equal, solid, snbbulbous, caespitose, silky-fibrillose, 

 subannulate, floccose-villose at the apex, white, spores, elliptical, 

 .0003 to .0004 in. long, .00016 to .0002 broad. 



Pileus 2 to 4 in. broad; stem 1 to 3 in. long, 4 to 6 lines thick. 



Mossy ground in open places. Catskill mountains. Sept. 



The caespitose mode of growth, yellowish pileus, pale lamellae and 

 white flesh and stem distinguish this species. 



Cortinarius (Dermocybe) lutescens, n. sp. 



Pileus broadly convex or nearly plane, unpolished, innately fibril- 

 lose, squamulose on the disk, dingy-yellow, often with a greenish tint 

 and sometimes marked with reddish or brownish spots, flesh whitish; 

 lamellae rather broad, close, adnexed, subconcolorous when young, 

 tawny-cinnamon when old; stem equal, firm, silky fibrillose, subannu- 

 late from the remains of the veil, colored like the pileus; spores 

 broadly elliptical or subglobose, .00025 to .0003 in. long, .0002 to 

 .00025 broad. 



Pileus 1 to 3 in. broad, stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, 2 to 3 lines thick. 

 Mossy ground in woods. North Elba. Sept. 



The pileus is somewhat moist in wet weather which makes the 

 species ambiguous between Dermocybe and Telamonia. The fibrils 

 of the pileus indicate a Dermocybe. 



Cortinarius (Telamonia) adustus, n. sp. 



Pileus broadly campanulate or convex, obtuse, hygrophanous, bay- 

 brown when moist, sometimes cauescent on the margin, paler when 

 dry, but smoky -brown with age and generally rimose-squamose, flesh 

 yellowish-gray; lamellae rather thick, distant, subfree, purplish-brown; 

 stem equal, stuffed or hollow, fibrillose, brownish with a white myce- 

 lioid coating at the base, colored within like the flesh of the pileus; 

 spores elliptical, .0003 to .0004 in. long, .0002 to .00025 in. broad. 



Pileus 10 to 18 lines broad; stem 1 to 3 in. long, 3 to 5 lines thick. 



Balsam groves. North Elba. Sept. 



The plant is sometimes caespitose. The pileus, when old, becomes 

 smoky-brown or blackish and is often chinky or rimose-areolate. 



Cortinarius (Hydrocybe) pallidus, n. sp. 



Pileus thin, broadly convex or nearly plane, glabrous, hygrophanous, 

 pale alutaceous when moist, buff-yellow when dry, flesh concolorous 

 when moist, whitish when dry; lamellae thin, rather close, ventricose, 

 pallid; stem equal, rigid, hollow, silky-fibrillose, pallid, becoming 

 brownish toward the base; spores subelliptical, .0003 to .00035 in. long, 

 .0002 to .00025 broad.
