Harper—Species of Pholiota of the Great Lakes Region. 483 
lected it at Madison, Wis., Geneseo, Ills., and elsewhere. The 
photographs in pi. XXXII, A are from the Madison plants. 
They are old with the pileus depressed and the annulus almost 
gone and are not very satisfactory. The plants in pi. XXXII, 
B were more hygrophanous, with the margin of the pileus 
slightly striate and the gills bent in the middle. They were 
quite wrinkled when dry and suggest a form of Pholiota rugosa, 
Pk. We have no good photograph of Pholiota togularis which 
is a pretty little plant with a broad membranous annulus, the 
“little cloak” which suggested the name. 
Pileus thin, soft, convex to plane or depressed, smooth, even 
on the margin, somewhat hygrophanous, pale ochraceous, almost 
white when dry. Lamellae adnate or toothed-decurrent, veil- 
tricose, yellowish-white becoming ochraceous. Flesh thin, soft, 
yellowish. Stem hollow, flexuous, somewhat fihrillose, colored 
like the pileus, darker below. Ahnulus membranous, evanes¬ 
cent, near the middle of the stem. Spores ochraceous, 5x8 
Note. Plants of the Pholiota togularis type form a very variable 
group. A number' of species and varieties have been reported from 
this country. They are all small plants growing on the ground or at¬ 
tached to sticks and very closely related to each other. 
Pholiota togularis, var. filaris, Fr. is reported by Peck and raised to 
the rank of a species. Mus. Bull. 122, p. 144. It is characterised by its 
small size slightly striate pileus and very thin stem. Figured in Fries 
Icon. pi. 104. 
Pholiota hlattaria Fr. is reported in Farlow’s Index. It is like a 
slender form of Pholiota togularis but has the pileus striate on the 
margin and the gills free. 
Pholiota rugosa, Pk., N. Y. State Mus. Rep’t 50 p. 102 and Mus. Bull. 
122, p. 144, is a more hygrophanous plant with the pileus slightly 
striate on the margin, the annulus with striae on the upper surface 
and the p'^us rugose wrinkled when dry. It is reported from Michi¬ 
gan by Kauffman. 
Pholiota anomala, Pk., Torr. Bull. 22, p. 202, was described from 
plants growing on sticks and leaves lying on the ground at Pasadena, 
California. They are about the size of Pholiota togularis, brown, dry¬ 
ing cream color, with adnate lamellae and a fugaceous annulus. 
The stem is hollow with transverse partitions, the internodes stuffed 
with a cottony substance. Pholiota dissimulans, B. & Br. has such 
nodes in the stem, Cooke, Illust. pi. 371.
