white; the dermis radiately fibrillose, whitish beneath the cuticle; 
cuticle at first continuous, alutaceous to rufous, soon separating 
into numerous small scales which are drawn apart and concen¬ 
trically arranged around the umbo. Stipe slender, tapering 
slightly upward, fistulous, rufescent beneath the white silky-fibril- 
lose cuticle; annulus membranaceous lacerate, deciduous. Lam¬ 
ellae moderately broad, close, white, free and rather remote; 
spores ellipsoid, 7-8 x 4-5 mic. 
Growing in grassy ground in fields, gardens, etc. Pileus 
2-4 cm. in diameter, the stipe 3-5 cm. long and 2-4 mm. thick. 
This species has been reported from various parts of the country, 
but evidently several of the species of the tribe have been er¬ 
roneously referred to it; my specimens so referred in the Myc. 
Flora M. V. are inodorous and belong to the following species. 
47 . LEPIOTA ANGUSTANA Britzelmayer, Derm, et 
Mel. App. 1884 . 
Inodorous. Pileus fleshy, subovoid then convex and expla- 
nate; the flesh thin, white, subrufescent; the dermis radiately 
fibrillose, white beneath the rufous cuticle, which is soon drawn 
apart into small concentric scales. Stipe slender, tapering slightly 
upward, fistulous, rufescent beneath the white-fibrillose cuticle; 
the annulus membranaceous, lacerate, subpersistent. Lamellae 
rather broad, close, obtuse behind, free, white; spores pointed at 
one end and obtuse of truncate at the other, 5-7 x 3 mic. 
Growing on the ground among old leaves in woods. Prob¬ 
ably common throughout the country east and south, and known 
as Lepiota cristata A. & S. Pileus 1.5-3 cm. i n diameter, the 
stipe 3-5 cm. long and 2-3 mm. thick. It has no disagreeable 
odor and is readily distinguished from L. conspurcata by its 
peculiar spores. 
48. LEPIOTA FULVASTER B. & C., Ann. & Mag. 
N. H. 1853. 
Pileus fleshy, convex then explanate, subumbonate; the flesh 
thin, white; the dermis radiately fibrillose, rimulose-sulcate around 
the margin, white beneath the cuticle; the cuticle fulvous, soon 
separating into small scales, which are drawn apart and spot the 
white surface. Stipe slender, tapering upward from a slightly 
thickened base, fistulous, fibrous-stuffed, white and smooth; the 
annulus membranaceous, fulvous, subpersistent. Lamellae ven- 
tricose, not crowded, attached to a distinct collar, which is not, 
however, separate from the stipe, rather thick, of a pure white; 
spores -. 
Growing amongst grass in sandy soil. S. Carolina, Curtis. 
Pileus 6-12 mm. in diameter, the stipe 2-3 cm. long and scarcely
