35. LEPIOTA GEMMATA Morgan, sp. nov. 
Pileus fleshy, at first globose then convex and expanded; 
the flesh thick, white; the dermis rather thick, white, its surface 
from the first divided up into minute, erect, pointed warts, which 
grow dusky with age; the veil appendiculate. Stipe tapering 
upward, fistulous, fibrous-stuffed, white, flocculose-scaly up to 
the annulus, the scales becoming dusky. Lamellae broad, close 
white, inwardly obtuse and approximate; spores oblong, obliquely 
apiculate, 4-6 x 2.5-3.0 mic. 
Growing in rich soil or rotten wood. Preston, O. Pileus 
2-4 cm. in diameter, the stipe 3-5 cm. long, and 3-5 mm. thick. 
Before the expansion of the pileus it looks like a young Lyco- 
perdon gemmatum. After maturity the superficial pointed warts 
sometimes disappear leaving the surface pulverulent. 
VI. GLIODERMATA. Dermis of the pileus continuous, 
never separating into scales, but the surface invested by a more 
or less thickened layer of gluten , pellucid or colored. Stipe 
commonly dry and squamulose or subglabrous, in a few species 
with a viscid cuticle like the pileus. 
36. LEPIOTA CANDIDA Morgan sp. nov. 
Pileus fleshy, ovoid then convex and explanate, subum- 
bonate; the flesh thin, white; the dermis radiately fibrillose, 
smooth, pure white, covered by a very thin viscous epidermal 
layer, at first continuous, but with the growth of the pileus drawn 
apart and left as minute scales upon the surface. Stipe long, 
tapering upward from a clavate base, fistulous, silky-fibrillose or 
quite smooth, pure white; the annulus thin, membranaceous, per¬ 
sistent. Lamellae narrow, close, free and rather remote, pure 
white; spores elliptic-oblong, obliquely apiculate, 5-7 x 3-4 mic. 
Growing on the ground among old leaves in woods. Pres¬ 
ton, O. Pileus 1-3 cm. in diameter; the stipe 5-7 cm. long, 
5-6 mm. thick at the base, tapering to 2-3 mm. at the apex. The 
surface of the pileus sticks to the fingers and to the paper in 
which it is folded. 
37. LEPIOTA DELICATA Fries. Syst. Myc. I, 1821. 
Icones Sel. Tab. 15. Cooke, Illust. Pl. 118. 
Pileus fleshy, globose, then convex and explanate; the flesh 
thin white; the dermis smooth and glabrous, yellowish or ru- 
fescent, furnished with a viscid cuticle. Stipe tapering slightly 
upward, fistulous, fibrous-stuffed, white above the annulus, be¬ 
low densely floccose and colored as the pileus, the annulus mem¬ 
branaceous. Lamellae broad, close, white, free, approximate, 
spores -. 
Growing on the ground in woods. N. Carolina, Schwei- 
nitz. Pileus 2-3 cm. in diameter, the stipe 2-3 cm. high and 3-5 
mm. thick.
