A. P. MORGAN. 
(Continued from p. 159). 
III. GRANULOSAE. Dermis of the pilens or at least its 
outer layer composed of granules, minute warts or furfuraceous 
particles; the investment of the stipe similar to that of the pileus; 
the veil of like structure , lacerate and appendiculate. 
The species of this tribe are mostly small Agarics growing 
on the ground in rich soils or on rotted wood. The granules 
form a loose, easily detached investment. Many species are 
enumerated. 
a. Lamellae adnate to 'the stipe. 
13. LEPIOTA AMIANTHINA Scopoli. Fl. Carn. i 772. 
Pileus ovoid then campanulate and explanate, subumbonate; 
the flesh thin, yellowish; the dermis furfuraceous-granulose, 
ochraceous; the veil lacerate and more or less appendiculate. 
Stipe subequal, slender, fistulous, scaly below the annulus and 
colored as the pileus. Lamellae rather broad, close, white be¬ 
coming yellowish, adnate ; spores elliptic, 5-7 x 4 mic. 
Growing on the ground in mountain woods. New York,. 
Peck; Vermont, Morgan. Pileus 2-4 cm. in diameter, the stipe 
4-8 cm. long and 2-4 mm. thick. 
14. LEPIOTA RUGOSO-RECTICULATA Lorinser, 
Oest. bot. Zeitschr. 1879. 
This species is not described further than the statement that 
it is related to L. amianthina; it differs from it in the surface 
of the pileus being rugose-reticulate, and in the odor being strong 
and almost acrid. 
Growing in mossy places in woods. New York, Peck.
