Murrill: Dark-Spored Agarics

may be known by the gray color of the gills and the yellowish tint 

 on the stem in age. 



Agaricus (Stropharia) Feildeni Berk. Jour. Linn. Soc. 17: 14. 

 1880. Collected on Bellot Island, Greenland, by Captain Feilden. 

 The description is inadequate and I have not seen the type. Miss 

 Wakefield, however, has kindly examined it for me and writes as 

 follows : 



" The type consists of one specimen about 6 cm. across in very bad condi- 

 tion. There is practically no stalk, only a mass of soil beneath. It gives one 

 the impression of having been a dwarf, abnormal form. The upper surface 

 of the pileus is also much covered with soil, so that one can judge little 

 about it. The gills, as much as one can see of them, are very short. If it 

 were ever found again the spores might serve to identify it. They are almost 

 globose, and rather large, 7-9 x 7-8 fi." 



Stropharia Howeana (Peck) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 5: 1026. 1887. 

 {Agaricus Howeanus Peck, Bull. Buffalo Soc. Nat. Sci. 1 : 53. 

 1873.) See Pholiota Howeana Peck, Bull. N. Y. State Mus. 122 : 

 147. 1908. 



Stropharia irregularis Peck, Bull. Torrey Club 27: 16. 1900. 

 An annulate form of DrosophUa appendiculata. 



Stropharia Johnsoniana Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 41 : 

 84. 1888. (Agaricus J ohnsonianus Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State 

 Cab. 23 : 98. 1872.) See Pholiota Johnsoniana Peck, Bull. N. Y. 

 State Mus. 122: 147. 1908. 



Stropharia micropoda Morg. Jour. Myc. 14: 73. 1908. De- 

 scribed from specimens growing on rotten wood at Preston, Ohio. 

 Stover suggests that it may not be distinct from Gymnopilus 

 polychrous. 



Stropharia obturata (Fries) Quel. Champ. Jura Vosg. no. 

 1872. (Agaricus obturatus Fries, Syst. Myc. 1: 283. 1821.) 

 Reported from Illinois on the basis of a photograph taken by W. S. 

 Moffatt. According to some, the species is not distinct from 

 S. coronilla. Peck's specimens so named appear to belong in 

 Pholiota. 



Stropharia Schraderi Peck, Bull. Torrey Club 32 : 80. 1905. 

 Described from specimens collected by F. F. Schrader in sandy, 

 grassy soil about stumps at Washington, D. C. The types have 

 been examined and the species appears to me to belong in Pholiota.
