Pholiota satulosa , Pk., Torr. Bull. 23, p. 414, is another similar 
plant which grew on sandy soil in Alabama. It is the same size as 
the others, yellowish brown becoming pale tawny when dry, with a 
concolor’ous hollow stem, and a slight annulus, but there were rusty 
brown scales on the pileus. 
6. Plants with an evident universal veil and ragged fibrous 
annulus. Growing on the ground, scattered or caespitose. 
Pholiota terrigena and Pholiota angustipes are placed here be¬ 
cause they grow on the ground. The former belongs to the 
Squarrosae and the latter to the Squamosae.

The plants were found at Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, Septem¬ 
ber. They grew in clusters on the ground in open woods. The 
photograph shows a bunch of young plants. The caps expand 
and become almost plane. 
Pileus convex, margin incurved so that in young plants the 
cap is lens shaped, becoming expanded and plane, dry, covered 
with a coat of silky matted fibers, more or less torn and fibrillose 
scaly especially on the margin, dull yellow or tawny, scattered 
over the surface are tawny, verrucose, easily separable scales 
like those on the stem. Flesh yellowish, Lamellae becoming 
rusty with an olivaceous tint. Stem stuffed or hollow, squar- 
rose with tawny, verrucose scales in a web of white fibers, silky 
white above the annulus. Annulus the torn margin of the 
universal veil part of which adheres to the pileus. Spores 
ochracous 4x5—6 /u 
Our plant agrees with the illustration in Fries, leones, 103.

The plants grew in clusters on the ground in a place where 
stumps had been removed in a pasture near Madison, Wis., in
