Mycologta 



bruised ; spores fusiform, smooth, ochraceous, averaging 12 X 

 4.5 /x; stipe bulbous, solid, red to purple, white or yellow at the 

 base, more or less striate, furfuraceous, about 5 cm. long and 

 1.5 cm. thick. 



This species was very common about Seattle, on rather dry 

 banks in woods. When fully mature, the bloom on the cap dis- 

 appears and the color is so dark that the sporophore is difficult to 

 see unless a glimpse of the yellow hymenium is obtained. Mr. 

 S. M. Zeller discovered the first specimens (No. 105), and I take 

 pleasure in dedicating the species to him. Mr. L. S. Abrams 

 found a number of specimens when we collected together at 

 La Honda.

SuiLLELLus LURiDUS (Schacff.) Murrill. Common under oaks 

 on the edge of a lake near Tacoma. The form is perfectly 

 typical, with lurid cap and red-dotted stem. Some of the caps 

 are rimose-areolate above, much resembling Ceriomyces 

 communis.
