2. Vaginata parcivolvata (Peck) 
Amanitopsis parcivolvata Peck, Bull. Torrey Club 27 : 610. 1900. 
Amanita muscaria coccinea Beardslee, Jour. Elisha Mitchell Soc. 
1 : 8. 1902. 
This beautiful species, known to occur in thin woods from New 
Jersey to North Carolina, has a brilliant orange-red cap, lemon- 
yellow gills, and a lemon-yellow, pulverulent stem terminated by 
a short, friable volva. The writer found it under oaks at Blacks- 
burg, Virginia, July, 1910, and compared it carefully with the 
white, yellow, gray, and blackish forms of V. plnmbea common in 
that region. I have not examined Beardslee’s specimens, but do 
not see how they can be distinct.

Amanitopsis agglntinata Sacc. Syll. Eung. 5: 23. 1887. 
Amanitopsis volvata Sacc. Syll. Fung. 5: 23. 1887. 
Apparently rare in the warmer parts of temperate Europe and 
common in the eastern United States, occurring in open woods 
and wood borders from New England to Alabama and west to 
Ohio. It varies very much in size, and its surface may be en- 
tirely glabrous, or adorned with a few large patches from the 
volva, or covered with powder much as in V. farinosa. The 
usual color is dull-white or yellowish, but forms with the surface 
reddish-brown at the center or entirely reddish-brown are found 
at times. According to Bresadola, A Barlae Quel, refers 
to this species, and some think it should be known as Amanitopsis 
baccata (Fries) Sacc. 
4. Vaginata pusilla (Peck) 
Amanitopsis pusilla Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 50: 96.
