Described from Europe, and found in woods and groves from 
Maine to Alabama and west to Ohio. This species is said to have 
a white variety farther south, which was known to Schweinitz. 
7. Venenarius Morrisii (Peck) 
Amanita Morrisii Peck, Bull. N. Y. State Mus. 139: 42. 1910. 
Described from Massachusetts, and occurring among mosses 
in swampy places in certain parts of that state. 
8. Venenarius muscarius (L.) Earle, Bull. N. Y. Bot. Card. 5: 
450. 1909 
Amanita muscaria Pers. Syn. Fung. 253. 1801. 
Described from Europe, and occurring throughout temperate 
regions in woods and thickets. A pale form found on Long 
Island is considered by Peck to be closely related to white forms 
of A. pantherina, but to differ in volval characters. I have found 
small, pale forms under conifers in this vicinity, also a beautiful 
lemon-yellow form similar in every way to our usual northern 
orange form except in color. These color variations, together 
with the tendency of the stipe to be ocreate at times, may be 
quite confusing. The flesh of this species is said to be bitter, but 
I have not found it so, either in the fresh or dried state.
