Murrill: Dark-Spored Agarics 



75 



rather distant, plane or arcuate ; stipe smooth, shining, slightly 

 fibrillose, pallid at the apex, darker and usually thicker below. 

 Cespitose on dead pine wood. Flesh not noticeably bitter, lemon- 

 yellow." Spores from these specimens are ovoid or ellipsoid, 

 smooth, very pale yellowish under the microscope, 7-9 x 4-5.5 jtt. 

 Specimens collected by Earle in New York also had yellowish flesh 

 and a mawkish (not bitter) taste. 



Doubtful and Excluded Species 



Agaricus (Hypholoma) Artemisiae Pass. Nuovo Giorn. Bot. 

 Ital. 4: 82. 1872. Reported by Peck from Brewerton, New 

 York, but the specimens were later found to belong in Hebeloma. 



Agaricus (Hypholoma) comaropsis Mont. Syll. Crypt. 122. 

 1856. Collected at Columbus, Ohio, by Sullivant. Types not 

 seen. 



Agaricus hirtosquamulosus Peck, Bull. Buffalo Soc. Sci. 1 : 53. 

 1873. Transferred to Hypholoma by Saccardo. Collected by 

 Peck on maple logs in woods at Portville, Cattaraugas County, 

 New York. Four specimens and a drawing are on the type sheet, 

 where Peck has written " Not a good Hypholoma. Naucoria." 

 Specimens in a box at Albany from St. Louis, Missouri, collected 

 by Glatfelter, have gills colored like the types, but the surface is 

 darker and more hairy, as in Naucoria pennsylvanica. 



Agaricus (Hypholoma) nitidipes Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State 

 Mus. 35: 133. 1884. Collected by Peck at Albany, New York. 

 The two poor specimens on the type sheet at Albany are marked 

 by Peck u Pholiota duroides." They certainly do not appear to be 

 a species of Hypholoma. 



Agaricus (Hypholoma) ornellus Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State 

 Mus. 34: 42. 1883. Pholiota ornella Peck, Bull. N. Y. State 

 Mus. 122: 151. 1908. See Gymnopilus polychrous (Berk.) Mur- 

 rill, N. Am. Fl. 10: 204. 1917. 



Pilosace (Fries) Pat. Hymen. Eur. 122. 1887 



In Mycologia for March, 1918, I discussed this genus from the 

 standpoint of the two tropical American species assigned to it by 

 Fries. It differs from Agaricus in lacking a veil. In 1904 Peck
