 gregarious, 5 cm. broad ; surface smooth, shining, glabrous, white, 

 becoming tinged with avellaneous with age, margin entire or 

 slightly lobed, concolorous ; lamellae sinuate, rather narrow, 

 crowded, salmon-colored, entire on the edges; spores globose, 

 angular, apiculate, rose-colored, 7-8 //.; stipe equal or slightly

This species is white or whitish throughout until the gills are 

 colored by the maturing spores. It was found at Stockbridge, 

 Massachusetts, in September, 191 1, in the edge of the woods near 

 the summer home of Dr. W. Gilman Thompson, who was col- 

 lecting with me at the time.
