where. Peck says it is rare in the Adirondacks and Catskills, 
occurring in woods and grassy places, and that it is easily recog- 
nized by its large size. Dodge reports it from Wisconsin. 
Clitocybe media Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 42 : 114 (18). 
1889 
Described from North Elba in the Adirondack Mountains, New 
York, occurring there rarely on mossy ground in woods, and 
later reported from Wisconsin. Peck considers it intermediate 
between C. nebularis and C. clavipes, but it certainly approaches 
the latter species very closely. 
Clitocybe megalospora Clements, Bot. Surv. Neb. 4:18. 1896 
Not a species of Clitocybe. See Mycologia 7:157. 1915. 
Clitocybe morbifera Peck, Bull. Torrey Club 25:231. 1898 
Described from specimens collected on grassy ground and 
lawns at Washington, D. C., by F. J. Braendle. The taste is re- 
ported as very disagreeable and persisting for a long time. Two 
by Dr. Fischer from Detroit, Michigan, and in both cases sickness 
lasting about three hours. In Bulletin 150, Peck reports speci- 
mens sent by Dr. Whetstone from Minneapolis, IMinnesota, and 
by Dr. Fischer from Detroit, Michigan, and in both cases sickness 
was produced after the fungus had been eaten in quantity. Dr. 
Peck concludes that although C. morbifera is scarcely distinguish- 
able morphologically from C. sudorifica the ill effects of the 
former are much more serious and uncomfortable than those of 
the latter species. Specimens of C. dealbata collected at Seattle 
were compared at Albany with specimens of C. morbifera col- 
lected by Dr. Whetstone in Minnesota in 1905, and found to 
agree in every particular.

This large and important edible species was originally de- 
scribed from Albany and Sandlake, New York, occurring in open 
grassy places in late spring or early summer and again in the
