Mycologia 
short-decurrent, inserted, white ; spores globose, smooth, hyaline, 
4-6 /ij stipe subfusiform, hollow, smooth, white, glabrous, reach- 
ing 12 cm. long and 2 cm. thick. (/>/. idf). 
Type collected September 25, 1908, by George H. Plass on the 
side of a trench under the museum building of the New York 
Botanical Garden, growing out between brickwork in total dark- 
ness, evidently arising from soil, as no wood was present. This 
species suggests one found by 'Miss Banning growing in cluster 
on a brick wall in a cellar at Baltimore, Tvlaryland, and named by 
her Agaricus (Tricholoma) cellaris, but I believe the description 
was never published. The spores of Miss Banning’s plant seem 
quite differem from those of the species described above.
