Murrill: Agaricaceae of Tropical North America 23 
Type collected on a decayed mossy log near Port Antonio, 
Jamaica, November 24, 1902, F. S. Earle 6ij. Distinguished by 
its densely fibrillose pileus and smooth, subglobose spores. 
16. Gymnopilus chrysopellus (Berk. & Curt.) 
A. (Flamnmla) chrysopellus Berk. & Curt. Jour. Linn. Soc. 10: 
290. 1868. 
Described from Wright’s collections on dead wood in Cuba. 
Spores broadly ellipsoid, often nearly subglobose, smooth, mel- 
leous under a microscope, 6-7 X 4~5 ij- Specimens bearing this 
name at Berlin, collected by Duss at Bains-Jaunes, are too badly 
discolored to be compared accurately. 
17. Gymnopilus Nashii sp. nov. 
Pileus convex, densely cespitose, 2-4 cm. broad ; surface ochra- 
ceous, dry, densely floccose-squamose, margin not striate ; lamellae 
adnate, subcrowded, broad, fuscous-ferruginous ; spores ellipsoid, 
smooth, ferruginous, 7-7.5 X 4~5 h- ; stipe subcylindric, enlarged 
at the apex, concolorous, darker below, fibrillose, firm, fleshy, be- 
coming fistulose, 4-7 long, 3-6 mm. thick ; veil pale-yellowish, 
scanty. 
Type collected on an old log near Port Margot, Haiti, August 
4, 1903, G. V. Nash 7p. Also collected at Consuelo, Santo Do- 
mingo, November 15-17, igog,N. Taylor 777; and at Sierra Nipe,
