Harper—Species of Pholiota of the Great Lakes Region. 479 
The pilei were only slightly cracked. The veil has almost dis¬ 
appeared from the plant figured. Peck’s description of the 
plant is as follows: 
Pileus convex or nearly plane, glabrous or sometimes floccose 
on the margin, commonly rimose areolate, especially in the cen¬ 
ter, white, sometimes slightly tinged with yellow. Flesh 
white. Lamellae close, adnexed, white, becoming ferruginous 
brown, generally minutely eroded on the edge. Stem equal, hol¬ 
low, striate at the top, white, the white annulus more or less 
floccose on the lower surface, lacerated, often evanescent. 
Spores 8x12 —13 p. 
Pileus 2-4 inches broad ; Stem 2-3 inches long, 3-5 lines 
thick. 
Pholiota temnophylla, Pk. Pl. XXXIII, A. 
CUT-GILLED PHOLIOTA. 
The species is described in X. Y. State Mus. Kep’t 23, p. 90 
and in Mus. Bull. 122 p. 146. 
Pileus fleshy, hemispheric, becoming convex, smooth, ochra- 
ceous yellow. Lamellae very broad, adnexed, obliquely trun¬ 
cate at the inner extremity, brownish ferruginous. Stem equal, 
glabrous, hollow, white, the annulus well developed, membran¬ 
ous, white. Spores brownish ferruginous, broadly elliptic 
7—9x10—12 ft. 
Pileus 1-2 inches broad, Stem 1-4 inches long, 2-4 lines 
thick. Grassy ground by roadsides in June. The plants re¬ 
semble Xaucoria semiorbicularis and Pholiota praecox. 
Peck reports a single collection and Kauffman has found the 
species in Michigan. The plants photographed grew on the 
ground in grassy woods at Glencoe, Ills., in June. The gills 
of plants which were collected on Mackinac Island are even 
more typical of Dr. Peck’s species, but the spores in both collec¬ 
tions are narrower than in the type 6—7x10 /*. The identifica¬ 
tion has been confirmed by Dr. Peck. <
