Murrill: Agaricaceae of Tropical North America 21 
margin not striate, strongly inflexed on drying; lamellae short- 
decurrent, subdistant, broad, yellow to ferruginous ; spores ellip- 
soid, minutely punctate, ferruginous, 7 X 4 ; stipe subcylindric, 
slightly enlarged at the apex and base, slightly paler than the 
pileus, yellowish above, minutely scaly-fibrillose throughout, 
fleshy, yellow within, solid when young, becoming flstulose with 
age, 4-8 cm. long, 6-10 mm. thick; veil delicate, consisting of 
yellow fibrils, evanescent. 
Type collected on a dead log in Hope Gardens, Jamaica, No- 
vember 16, 1902, F. S. Earle 4pp. 
II. Gymnopilus chrysotrichus (Berk. & Curt.) 
A. {Flammula) chrysotrichus Berk. & Curt. Jour. Linn. Soc. 10: 
290. 1868. 
Described from specimens collected by Wright in Cuba on dead 
logs in fields. The spores are subglobose to broadly ellipsoid, 
finely echinulate, melleous under a microscope, 5-7 X 4 yw- Duss 
also reports the species from Guadeloupe and Martinique, and his 
specimens at Berlin appear to be correctly determined.

12. Gymnopilus chrysotrichoides sp. nov. 
Pileus thick, fleshy, convex to subexpanded, gregarious, reach- 
ing 7 cm. broad ; surface dry or moist, not viscid, glabrous, fer- 
ruginous to fulvous, margin entire, concolorous, slightly sulcate 
with age, inflexed on drying; lamellae adnate with a decurrent 
tooth, broad, close, becoming ferruginous or fulvous ; spores 
ellipsoid, punctate-tuberculate, ferruginous, 8-9 X 5-6 ix ; stipe 
cylindric, equal, usually somewhat curved, pallid, glabrous, longi- 
tudinally furrowed, at least above, 4-6 cm. long, 3-6 mm. thick, 
decorated near the apex with the remains of a rather large mem- 
branous, yellowish, usually permanent veil. 
Type collected on a dead cocoanut log near Managua, Cuba, 
October 2, 1904, F. S. Earle 2J0. Similar to G. chrysotrichus in 
appearance, but considerably larger, with larger spores, and a 
rather large veil which remains as a distinct annulus. The species 
might be assigned to Pholiota if its affinities were not so evidently 
with Gymnopilus.
