instead of 10—12 /jl. The hollow stem and longer spores are given as 
characters of Pholiota indecens, Pk., N. Y. State Mus. Rep’t 30, p. 40, 
which Peck has decided is not distinct from Pholiota aggericola, Mus. 
Bull. 122, p. 146. Hence it is probable that both Pholiota indecens and 
Pholiota aggericola are the same as Pholiota erebia, Fr. Pholiota ag¬ 
gericola retirugis is the form with a wrinkled pileus and is further 
proof of the identity of the species. 
Glatfelter reports Pholiota aggericola from St. Louis with spores 
5—6x12—15^. Trans. Acad. Sci. St. Louis. 1906.

Pain-loving Pholiota. 
The plants illustrated were collected near brush piles in a 
grassy pasture at Geneseo, Ills., in June. Others have been 
found at Lake Geneva, Wis., and elsewhere, always about brush 
piles and in very wet weather. The plants photographed were 
somewhat above the average size. They agree well with the de¬ 
scription of Pholiota ombrophila hut the pilei are not so dark 
colored as in the figures given by Cooke, illust. pi. 359 and 
Fries leones 103. The latter is var. brunneola. The color of 
the pileus is described as “pale ferruginous.” 
Pileus fleshy, convex to expanded, smooth, slightly viscid, 
hygrophanous, irregular or wavy on the margin, striatulate, 
pale ferruginous. Flesh whitish. Lamellae sinuate attached 
with a decurrent tooth, narrowing outward from the stem, 
whitish becoming rusty. Stem stuffed or hollow, whitish, flexu- 
ous, somewhat fibrous striate. Annulus membranous, broad, 
entire, white. Spores ferruginous, 5—6x8—9 (Stevenson 
gives 4x8 ^ and Saocardo 6—7x13—14 /*.)

Pholiota togularis is a common species growing on the ground 
or attached to sticks in open woods and pastures. We have col-
