B., Atkinson’s Mushr. 132, Agaricus cohaerem Persoon, 
Synopsis 306, Fries. Hym. Eur. 
Pileus a little fleshy, campanulate then expanded, obsoletelv 
umbonate, velvety-soft, tawny cinnamon, expallent. Stipe horny, 
very rigid, even, glabrous, shining, bay, pallid above. Lamellae 
free, distant, very broad, subvenose-connected, white or yellowish; 
spores elliptic-oblong, 10-12x6-8 mic. 
Growing on wood and among old leaves. Pileus 2-4 cm. in 
diameter, the stipes long, subfasciculate, bound together by white 
villi. 
76. MARASMIUS SPINULIFER Atkinson’s Mushr. 
132, Agaricus spinulifer Peck. 24 N. Y. Rep. 1871. 
Pileus fleshy, thin, convex, smooth hygrophanous, alutaceous 
tinged with pink, slightly striatulate on the margin when moist, 
paler when dry. Stipe slender, tough, smooth, shining, hollow, 
reddish-brown, paler above, with a whitish mycelium at the base. 
Lamellae narrow, close, rounded behind and free, pale cinnamon; 
spores subelliptic, 5-6 mic. long. 
Caespitose. Growing on old logs and ground among leaves 
in woods. Pileus 2.5-4 cm. in diameter, the stipe 5-8 cm. long and 
2 mm. thick. The lamellae are clothed with minute spines or 
setae of a dull cinnamon color, about 76 mic. in length. 
77. MARASMIUS CUCURBITULA Mont. Syll. Crypt. 
No. 443. 
Caespitose. Pileus fleshy-membranaceous, convexo-campanu- 
late, the center umbonate, the margin strangulate-revolute, flesh- 
color, then yellowish, then dry reddish-brown. Stipe cartilaginous 
rigid, concolorous, fistulous, glabrous, thickened at apex and base. 
Lamellae close, unequal, narrow, attenuate-adnexed, pallid. 
Growing on wood sunk in the ground. Pileus 4-6 cm. in 
diameter, the stipe 5-8 cm. long and 2-3 mm. thick in the middle. 
78. MARASMIUS NUPTIALIS Morgan sp. nov. 
Pileus a little fleshy, campanulate then expanded, subum- 
bonate, fulvous, expallent, the surface wrinkled and pitted. Stipe 
cartilaginous, tapering upward, hollow, smooth and glabrous 
above, below clothed with a dense white villosity, white at the 
apex, fulvescent downwards. Lamellae rather narrow, close, 
white, adnexed-seceding; spores lanceolate, hyaline 9-11x3-4 
mic. 
Growing on rotten wood among old leaves. Pileus 3-4 cm. 
in diameter, the stipe 7-10 cm. long and 4-7 mm. thick, usually 
several bound together into a fascicle by the dense white villosity.
