Mycologia 



in woods near Seattle, Washington, October 20-November i, 

 191 1, W. A. Murrill ^52, 400, S. M. Zeller 12. A very beautiful 

 species, related to Hygrophorus Laurae Morgan. 



3. Hygrophorus fragrans sp. nov. 



Pileus convex to depressed, not umbonate, gregarious, decidedly 

 fragrant when dry, 8-10 cm. broad; surface smooth, glabrous, 

 viscid, roseous to incarnate, with white margin and somewhat 

 darker center; context rather thick and fleshy, white; lamellae 

 adnate, distant, inserted, white; spores ellipsoid, smooth, hyaline, 

 averaging 8X5/^; stipe long, equal, solid, furfuraceous, whitish 

 to cremeous or ochraceous, punctate with reddish-brown dots in 

 dried specimens and turning reddish-brown where handled, reach- 

 ing 10 cm. long and 2 cm. thick. 



Type collected in low coniferous woods near Corvallis, Oregon, 

 November 6-1 1, 191 1, W. A. Murrill lOop. The punctate stipe 

 reminds one of Hygrophorus rubropunctatus Peck. 



4. Hygrophorus subpustulatus sp. nov. 



Pileus fleshy, rather thin, convex, obtusely umbonate when 

 young, solitary or gregarious, 2.5-5 cm. broad; surface very 

 viscid-slimy, especially when young, whitish-avellaneous, some- 

 times varying to white on the margin, smooth, glabrous ; lamellae 

 squarely adnate, rarely slightly decurrent, plane, distant, inserted, 

 white ; spores ovoid, smooth, hyaline, 7-8 X 4-6 />t ; stipe white 

 throughout, equal, pruinose above, stuffed, about 7 cm. long and 

 I cm. thick. 



Type collected on the ground in woods near Seattle, Wash- 

 ington, October 20-November i, 191 1, W. A. Murrill 317. Also 

 collected on November 7, 191 1, at Glen Brook, Oregon, W. A. 

 Murrill 777, and on November 9, 191 1, at Mill City, Oregon, W. 

 A. Murrill 861. The plants listed under Hygrophorus limacinus 

 in the report of the Harriman Alaska Expedition probably belong 

 in this category, but I have not yet had an opportunity to examine 

 them.
