Murrill: Clitocybe in North America • 
269 
Described and known only from specimens collected in pine 
woods in South Carolina. Fries did not see these specimens. 
Clitocybe pinophila (Peck) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 5:183- 1887 
Agaricus (Clitocybe) pinophilus Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State 
Mus. 31:32. 1879. 
Described from Albany, New York, occurring rarely under or 
near pine trees, and reported later from Essex and Warren 
Counties, New York. 
Clitocybe pithyophila (Fries) Gill. Champ. Fr. 152. 1874 
Agaricus (Clitocybe) pithyophiliis Fries, Syst. Myc. i ; 83. 1821. 
Described from Europe and reported from New England, New 
York, and Ohio, usually occurring in pine woods. Hard gives a 
good illustration of this species in his recent work. 
Clitocybe porphyrella (Berk. & Curt.) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 
5 : 196. 1887 
Agaricus (Clitocybe) porphyrellus Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. III. 
4:284. 1859. 
Described from specimens collected in leaf-mold in Connecticut 
by Wright. The types at Kew are old and unreliable for com- 
parison. The pale-purple color of the entire plant would seem 
to suggest Mycena pura or one of the species of Laccaria. 
Clitocybe pruinosa Lovejoy, Bot. Gaz. 50: 384. 191c. 
Not Clitocybe pruinosa (Lasch) Quel. 1872 
Described from specimens collected in open pine woods at 
Foxpark, Wyoming, August 14, 1909. The pileus is described 
as 3.5 cm. wide, smooth, and rich-reddish-brown over salmon ; 
the lamellae as salmon-yellow, crowded, and very decurrent ; 
and the spores as globose, spiny, 7-10.5 fi. This would seem to 
indicate a species of Laccaria if the lamellae were not so decur- 
rent. Its relationship may be with C. sinopica.
