Amanitopsis volvata elongata n. var. 



PLATE A, Jig. 6-IO 



Pileus glabrous, slightly viscid when moist, striate on the margin, 

 white; stem long, straight or variously curved, mealy at the top, floc- 

 cose squamose below, the bulb buried deeply in the ground. 



Under or near pine trees. Claryville. August. 



This variety differs from the type in its purer white glabrous pileus, 

 its long stem and in having the bulb deeply buried in the ground. 

 The remains of the ruptured volva are generally more closely pressed 

 about the base of the stem than in the typical form, in which the bulb 

 is above or just at the surface of the ground. In both forms the 

 lamellae change color in drying, becoming much darker than when 

 fresh. The stem is from 4 to 6 inches long. Sometimes the pileus 

 is adorned by one or two small fragments of the volva which adhere 

 to it. 



Hygrophorus miniatus sphagnophilus n, var. 



Pileus broadly convex, subumbilicate, red; lamellae adnate, whit- 

 ish, becoming yellowish or sometimes tinged with red, occasionally 

 red on the edge; stem colored like the pileus, whitish at the base, 

 both it and the pileus very fragile. Kasoag marsh, growing among 

 peat mosses. July. This is more fragile than the typical form and 

 retains its color better in drying. 



Cantharellus cibarius multiramis n. var. 



Pileus very regular, the margin decurved and the lamellae much 

 branched and anastomosing. Denning. August. The folds or 

 lamellae are so abundantly connected that the hymenium resembles 

 that of C. floccosus. 



Lentinus cochleatus Fr. 



The flesh of this species has a very hot or acrid taste similar to 

 that ofLactarius piperatus. 



Entoloma strictius irregulare n. var. 



PLATE T>,Jig. £-fj 



Pileus thin, fragile, campanulate convex or nearly plane, with or 

 without an umbo, often irregular, dark brown and obscurely striatu-
