white or pale-yellow; spores oblong-ellipsoid, sometimes slightly 

 curved, smooth, ferruginous, 8-10X4-5.5/*; stipe crooked, en- 

 larged above, cream-colored, with conspicuous tufts of ferrugi- 

 nous fibrils, giving it a shaggy appearance, about 3 cm. long, 2-3 

 mm. thick ; veil slight, pale-yellowish, disappearing at a very early 

 stage. 



The plants figured, the type specimens, were found growing 

 among mosses on the lawn adjoining the Lorillard Mansion in 

 Bronx Park, July 3, 1910, by W. A. Murrill.

 Pennsylvania Naucoria 



Plate 40. Figure 10. X 1 



Pileus globose to hemispheric, subcespitose, 1-2 cm. broad ; sur- 

 face dry, hispid-squamulose, pale-fulvous, margin incurved, 

 slightly appendiculate in early stages ; lamellae squarely adnate, 

 broad, ferruginous-fulvous ; spores ellipsoid, often plane or con- 

 cave on one side, smooth, deep-ferruginous, 7X4-5/*; stipe 

 curved, tapering upward, hollow, cartilaginous, paler than the 

 pileus, with whitish tomentum, especially near the base, 2-3 cm. 

 long, about 3 mm. thick; veil slight, arachnoid, disappearing at a 

 very early stage. 



This species was collected on a fallen dead log in low woods 

 near the New York Botanical Garden, September 13, 1910; and 

 compared at Upsala with Michener's plants from Pennsylvania. 

 It is small, but conspicuous, and seems rather widely distributed 

 in the northern United States.
