In the dried specimens the pileus has assumed a dull brownish red 

 hue. In report 39 p. 57 this was considered a variety of R. f o e t e n s, 

 from which it differs in its granular roughened pileus, its more nar- 

 row and close lamellae and the absence of the peculiar odor of that 

 species. Its acrid taste will separate it from R. punctata Gill., 

 its glabrous stem, smaller spores and adnate lamellae from R. 

 granulosa Cke. 



Entoloma graveolens n. sp. 



PLATE D, fig. I -J 



Pileus thick, firm but brittle, convex, often irregular, glabrous, 

 slightly flocculent on the margin, whitish, sometimes with a violaceous 

 tint, flesh white, taste unpleasant, odor strong, disagreeable, earthy ; 

 lamellae narrow, close, adnexed, grayish white becoming pale salmon 

 color ; stem short, stout, solid, thickened or bulbous at the base, 

 downy above, white, the bulb usually clothed with a soft, white tomen- 

 tura ; spores pale salmon color, elliptic, .00024 to -0003 of an inch 

 long, .00016 broad, commonly uninucleate. 



Pileus 2 to 4 inches broad ; stem 1.5 to 4 inches long, 8 to 12 lines 

 thick. Black muck soil in low woods. Meadowdale. October. 



In size and shape this mushroom resembles Tricholoma per- 

 son a t u m, and when it is tinged with a violaceous hue the resem- 

 blance is increased. Its strong unpleasant odor is very persistent 

 and remains in the dried specimens, and its disagreeable flavor is not 

 destroyed by cooking. It grows in dense clusters and in lines or arcs 

 of circles. The color of the spores and the strong disagreeable odor 

 easily distinguish the species from the masked tricholoma, with 

 which it might otherwise be confused. 



Hebeloma pascuense n. sp. 



PLATE C, fig. 2 1-2 J 



Pileus convex, becoming nearly plane, viscid when moist, obscurely 

 innately fibrillose, brownish clay color, often darker or rufescent in 

 the center, the margin in the young plant slightly whitened by the 

 thin webby veil, flesh whitish, taste mild, odor weak, resembling that 

 of radishes; lamellae close, rounded behind, adnexed, whitish, becom- 

 ing pale ochraceous; stem firm, short, equal, solid, fibrillose, slightly 

 mealy at the top, w T hitish or pallid; spores pale ochraceous, subel- 

 liptic, uninucleate, .0004 of an inch long, .00024 broad.
