This shapely and easily recognized species was originally de- 
scribed from Paris by Vaillant, but the first binomial was assigned 
to specimens collected in Carniola. It is widely distributed on 
decaying wood or on the ground in woods or in mossy fields 
throughout Europe and the northern part of North America 
southward to South Carolina and Ohio and westward to Oregon 
and Bering Strait. The species has many names. That as- 
signed by Fjjies and generally used is not tenable because it was 
antedated by Scopoli’s name and also because the first plant to 
which Bulliard’s name was assigned was not this species, but a 
smaller one usually known as C. metachroa. See Clitocybe 
dicolor. 
Clitocybe connexa (Peck) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 5: 197. 1887 
Agaricus {Clitocybe) connexus Peck, Bull. Buffalo Soc. Nat. 
Sci. I ; 45. 1873. 
Described from specimens collected on the ground in woods at 
Croghan, New York. Dodge reports it from Wisconsin in low 
woods of maple and beech, and says that the pale, sky-blue colors 
mentioned by Peck are visible only at close range. In a recent 
bulletin. Peck makes this species a synonym of C. Trogii (Fries) 
Sacc. and says that it is closely allied to C. virens, from which it 
differs in the grayish and more compact pileus and the constantly 
solid stipe. It is said to have a fragrant, spicy odor. 
Clitocybe dealbata (Sow.) Gill. Champ. Fr. 152. 1874 
Agaricus dealbatus Sow. Engl. Fungi pi. 123. 1797. 
This very common and well known species was described from 
England and occurs gregariously in open places throughout 
Europe and temperate North America. C. sudorifica Peck and 
C. morbifera Peck appear to be indistinguishable from this species 
morphologically, and it seems probable that we have to deal here 
with a species that varies in its physiological effects when ingested.
