Figures 3 and 4 on the accompanying plate were drawn from 
specimens collected by the author at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, 
with the aid of Dr. W. Gilman Thompson. The other speci- 
mens used were collected in or near Bronx Park, New York 
City. 
Panaeolus solidipes Peck 
Solid-stemmed Panaeolus 
Plate 160. Figure i. X i 
Pileus firm, at first hemispheric, then subcampanulate or con- 
vex, 5-7 cm. broad ; surface smooth, whitish, the cuticle at length 
breaking up into dingy-yellowish, rather large, angular scales ; 
lamellae broad, slightly attached, whitish, becoming black ; spores 
broadly ellipsoid, very black with a bluish tint, 17.5 X lO//. ; stipe 
firm, smooth, white, slightly striate at the apex, solid, 12-17. 5 
cm. long, 4-8 mm. thick. 
This species, which is unusually large for the genus, occurs 
rarely in manure heaps or in heavily manured ground in the 
eastern United States. According to Peck’s original description 
and figure, the surface becomes distinctly scaly with age. The 
specimens here figured, found in the New York Botanical 
Garden, were probably collected before this character had de- 
veloped.
