nose above, pallid becoming brown toward the base. Annulus 
white, entire, striate with ridges on the upper surface, only 
slightly attached to the stem. Spokes ferruginous, elliptical 
4—6x9—12**. 
The plants differ from Pholiota togularis in the dark ferru¬ 
ginous, striatulate, hygrophanous. pileus and the rounded 
lamellae only slightly attached to the stem. Fries’ remark that 
Pholiota hlattaria is “a G alera with a ring” fits our plants ex¬ 
actly. 
The plants are also very close to Pholiota rugosa Pk which 
is reported from Michigan by Kauffman. Dr. Peck says Pho¬ 
liota rugosa differs from Pholiota hlattaria in the colors, the 
adnexed lamellae and the larger spores. In our plants the 
colors seem to agree with the descriptions of Pholiota hlattaria, 
the gills are only slightly if at all adnexed and the spores are 
somewhat smaller than the measurements given for Pholiota 
rugosa, 6—7x10—T2%** and if we may judge from Cooke’s 
illustration PI. 1173 about the size of the spores of Pholiota 
hlattaria. The striate annulus which is a striking feature of 
the plant and described by Peck is not mentioned in the descrip¬ 
tions of Pholiota hlattaria which we have seen but Pholiota 
togularis is said to have a striate annulus and the small variety 
Pholiota togularis var. filaris is so figured by Fries. Saccar- 
do’s Sylloge contains the remark that while very distinct Pho¬ 
liota hlattaria is easily confused wfith the small form of Pho¬ 
liota togularis. Peck suggests that Pholiota rugosa, Pholiota 
filaris and Pholiota togularis may all be forms of a single spe¬ 
cies. 
Pholiota hlattaria is reported from this country by Peck, 
Bep’t 39, p. 40, but it is not included among the Flew York 
species in Bull. 122.

Beautiful plants of the squamose type of Pholiota were col¬ 
lected on Keebish Island, Michigan, in October. They grew on
