Mycologia 
Described from Maryland, Otsego County, New York, and 
found rarely in groups or clusters in grassy ground by roadsides 
and in pastures. Peck first collected it in quantity and called it 
C. dealbata, a species which it resembles very closely. 
Clitocybe biformis Peck, Bull. N. Y. State Mus. 150:25. 1911 
Known only from a single collection at North Elba in the Adi- 
rondacks, growing in circles or arcs of circles in mixed woods. 
Not distinct from C. inversa. 
Clitocybe caespitosa Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 
41 : 61. 1888 
Described from the Catskill Mountains, New York, and found 
afterwards in the Adirondacks. It is a rare species, occurring in 
clusters in woods, and is remarkable for its irregular and de- 
formed appearance. Specimens at Albany collected in Michigan 
by Beal resemble a young, subclustered stage of C. adirondacken- 
sis, and it seems probable that further studies may connect the 
two species. 
Clitocybe catina (Fries) Quel. Champ. Jura Vosg. 215. 1872 
Agaricus (Clitocybe) catinus Fries, Epicr. Myc. 72. 1838. 
Reported once rather doubtfully from the Adirondack Moun- 
tains, New York, by Peck, who says that the species is related to 
C. infundibuliformis, but is easily distinguished by its white color. 
Reported also from Kansas by Bartholomew as occurring in short 
grass in the open prairie. 
Clitocybe chrysocephala Sacc. Syll. Fung. 5 ; 190. 1887 
Agaricus (Clitocybe) auratoceplialus Ellis, Bull. Torrey Club 6: 
75. 1876. 
Described from Newfield, New Jersey, occurring there in 
swampy ground in July. The whole plant is golden-yellow and 
has a strong, peculiar smell. The spores are short-oblong and 
10 fi long, very different from those of Monodelphus illudens. 
I have found no specimens of it in the Ellis collections, at least
