and persistent. Pileus whitish darkened on the disk. 
21. MARASMIUS DELECTANS Morgan sp. nov.

glabrous, rugulose, white changing in drying to pale alutaceous. 
Stipe long, slender, tapering slightly upward, glabrous, brown 
and shining, white at the apex, arising from an abundant white- 
floccose mycelium. Lamellae moderately broad, unequal, rather 
distant, trabeculate between, white emarginate adnexed; spores 
lance-oblong, hyaline, 7-9 x 4 mic. 
Growing on old leaves in deciduous woods. Pileus 1-2 cm. 
in diameter, the stipe 3-5 cm. long and 1.0-1.5 mm. thick. 
22. MARASMIUS SEMIHIRTIPES Peck 25 N. Y. 
Rep. 1872. 
Pileus thin, tough, nearly plane or depressed, glabrous, some¬ 
times striate on the margin, reddish-brown, becoming alutaceous, 
the disk sometimes darker. Stipe equal, even or finely striate, 
tubular, glabrous above, velvety-tomentose toward the base, red¬ 
dish-brown. Lamellae subdistant, reaching the stipe, white. 
Growing on the ground among fallen twigs and leaves. 
Pileus 1-2 cm. in diameter, the stipe 3-5 cm. long and I mm. thick. 
b. Pileus striate or plicate-sulcate.
