Harper—Species of Pholiota of the Great Lakes Region. 495 
III. Small plants with scaly or bristly pilous and stem. . 
The plants in this division arc squarrose or squamose, but 
they are small, grow on logs in woods and resemble those of 
the following section much more closely than the showy forms 
of the type of Pholiota squarrosa. 
17. Type of Pholiota muricata. 
Pholiota erinaceella, Pk. PL LI. 
LITTLE; BULSTLY PHOLIOTA. 
The plant was described as Agaricus (Pholiota) detersibilis, 
Pk. in 1ST. Y. State Mus. Fep’t, 28, and the name was changed 
to Pholiota erinaceela in Mus. Bull. 122, p. 152. The bristly 
pileus and stem is well shown in the photographs. The plants 
agree with the description exactly. They grew on logs in woods 
at Frankfort, Mich., in August. Peck’s description reads: 
“Pileus thin, hemispheric or convex, dry, densely coated 
with small, erect, separable, pyramidal or spinelike scales, 
tawny brown. Lamellae broad, close, adnexed, pallid becom¬ 
ing cinnamon brown. Stem equal, stuffed or hollow, densely 
squamulose below the slight annulus, often curved, colored like 
the pileus. Spores ferruginous, naviculoid 4-5x8-9/*. Pileus 
6-12 lines broad, stem 6-12 lines long, 1 line thick.” 
Pholiota muricata, Fr. Pis. LII and LIII. 
The plants pictured in PI. LII were collected at Fiver 
Forest, Ill., in June, those in PI. LOT at ISTeebish, Mich., in 
September. The Fiver Forest plants are slightly heavier, 
neater, and more squarrose than those found at Feebish but 
they seem to be the same species. All were tawny yellow with 
bunches of bright yellow mycelium at the base of the stems. 
The plants represented in PI. LII, B, had long straggling stems 
due to their position emerging from a crack in the bark of the 
log. 
Pileus convex to plane, obtuse, slightly umbilicate, covered 
with small closely packed tufts of tawny fibers making the sur-
