Clitocybe ectypoides (Peck) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 5:169. 1887 
Agaricus (Clitocybe) ectypoides Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State 
Mus. 24:61. 1872. 
Described from Sandlake, New York, and occurring rather 
frequently on decaying wood in woods from IMaine to Alabama 
and west to Wisconsin. I once made seven collections of it in 
Maine on dead coniferous wood. 
Clitocybe erubescens (Mont.) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 5:150. 1887 
Agaricus (Clitocybe) erubescens Mont. Syll. Crypt. 103. 1856. 
Not A. erubescens Fries, 1821. 
Described from specimens collected on fallen logs at Colum- 
bus, Ohio, by Sullivant. The types at Paris, which are poorly 
preserved, suggest either a true Clitocybe or a species of Hygro- 
phorus, near H. pratensis. The stipe is thick ; the lamellae nar- 
row to broad and distant ; and the pileus smooth, viscid, and 2.5 
cm. broad in its present dried state. The spores are oblong- 
ellipsoid, somewhat fusiform, smooth, hyaline, 4-5 X 2-3 /x. 
Clitocybe fellea Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 51 : 284. 
1898 
Found once at Gansevoort, Saratoga County, New York, grow- 
ing gregariously on the ground in woods. The author cites the 
pale color, deep umbilicus, and bitter taste as prominent charac- 
ters. I have not seen this species. 
Clitocybe flaccida (Sow.) Quel. Champ. Jura Vosg. 329. 1873 
Agaricus flaccidus Sow. Engl. Fungi pi. 185. 1798. Not Agar- 
ictis flaccidus Bull. 1788. 
Described from England and reported as occurring in pine 
woods in Massachusetts and Maryland. A study of Sowerby’s 
plate and of specimens at Kew, in connection with specimens col- 
lected at Paris, leads me to believe that this is none other than our 
old friend C. inversa; in which case its occurrence in this country 
is correctly reported.
