Murrill: Clitocybe in North America 
265 
Clitocybe biformis Peck, Bull. N. Y. State Mus. 150:25. 1911. 
This large and handsome species was described from Carniola 
and occurs in humus in woods or groves throughout Europe and 
the northern United States, having been collected rather com- 
monly in Maine, New York, Washington, and Oregon. In Paris, 
the writer once found it growing in the greatest profusion be- 
neath the giant cedar of Lebanon at the south end of the Jardin 
des Plantes. The species must have been very familiar to Bul- 
liard, who figured it in his plate 553 under the name of Agaricus 
infundibuliformis, one of its many appellations. C. geotropa is 
said to have spores 6-7 X 4~5 /'<■, while those of C. inversa are 
4-5-5 X 3-4/^- 
Clitocybe leptoloma Peck, Bull. N. Y. State Mus. 157:68. 
1912 
Agaricus {Clitocybe) leptolomus Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State 
Mus. 32:26. 1880. 
Described from specimens on decaying prostrate trunks in 
woods at Indian Lake in the Adirondack Mountains, New York. 
It is reported as uncommon and no other locality is cited for the 
species. It is said to differ from C. truncicola in having a hygro- 
phanous, umbilicate pileus. 
Clitocybe maculosa (Peck) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 5:183. 1887 
Agaricus {Clitocybe) maculosus Peck, Bull. Buffalo Soc. Nat. 
Sci. 1:45. 1873. Not A. maculosus Pers. 1801. 
Described from specimens collected on the ground in woods 
at Croghan, New York. Not distinct from C. inversa. 
Clitocybe maxima (Gartn. & Meyer) Quel. Champ. Jura Vosg. 
51. 1872 
Agaricus maximus Gartn. & Meyer, FI. Wett. 3^ : 329. 1802. 
I examined this species in the Hooker herbarium at Kew and 
elsewhere, but found no specimens from America and its occur- 
rence here must be considered doubtful, although it has been 
reported from Minnesota, Massachusetts, California, and else-
